The Lockerbie Bombing

Twenty-five years on, ITV avoids the political aspects of the infamous tragedy and instead concentrates on the human stories attached to Pan Am’s Flight 103 with this hour-long documentary.

In recent years, the Lockerbie Bombing has become synonymous with Anglo-Libyan relations and the last years of the Gaddafi regime. Yes, the absence of any discussion about the methods or identities of the bombers resembles to a massive elephant in the room. Yet, though modest in perspective, this revisit offers a place for simple but powerful testimony from those affected – the residents of Lockerbie, the relatives of those on board, and those on the scene in the aftermath.
