Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie

Acclaimed filmmaker Jim Sheridan begins his investigation into the brutal murder of French film producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier in West Cork in 1996.

The murder case continues with false leads, changing witness statements and a failure to charge a suspect despite more than 50 initial suspects identified by the Irish police.

After 24 years of suspicion, the French authorities put Ian Bailey on trial in absentia. The defendant remains in his home in West Cork while French Magistrates deliberate on his fate.
