‘I Fought The Law’ scored by Luke Richards will premiere Sunday 31st August, 9pm on ITV and ITVX. The true crime drama stars Sheridan Smith, Victoria Wyant, Daniel York Loh, Olivia Ng, Marlowe Chan-Reeves and Jake Davies.
Produced by Hera Pictures (What It Feels Like For A Girl, Mary & George, Hamnet, Temple, Honour) the four-part series is written by Jamie Crichton (All Creatures Great and Small, The Last Kingdom, Grantchester) and is based on Ann Ming’s book ‘For The Love of Julie’.
‘The drama follows the tragic, moving, and deeply inspiring journey of the Ming family after the murder of their beloved 22-year-old daughter, Julie. In the wake of multiple police failings, Ann relentlessly pressures the authorities to uncover the truth and ensure the man responsible is brought to justice – despite initially seeming he will get away with murder. Driven by love, grief, and extraordinary determination, Ann and her family campaign tirelessly in Julie’s name. In her steadfast and indomitable style, Ann takes on the entire justice system – challenging the Crown Prosecution Service, the Law Commission, prominent defence barristers in television debates, the Government, the Lord Chancellor, the Attorney General, and two Home Secretaries – as she bravely ‘fought the law.’
Luke’s soundtrack to the series will be released digitally on the 31st and is available to pre-save here.
