TV drama on infected blood could mobilise ‘sense of injustice and outrage’
==========
ITV has commissioned a drama, written by Peter Moffat, to dramatise the experiences of those with blood disorders who were infected during the 1970s and 1980s with HIV and hepatitis C. The drama aims to mobilize a sense of injustice and outrage following the publication of a damning inquiry into the infected blood scandal. The Crown star Seb Carrington, who has haemophilia, is also working on a series set around the boys who contracted hepatitis at Treloar College. Carrington believes that television dramas can reach people's lives, grab their attention, and show them the strength and resolve of those who have been affected by the scandal. The inquiry concluded that the schoolchildren were used as "objects for research" and given "multiple, riskier" treatments. Carrington is writing a speech with Moffat on "what justice is" as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to make an apology in the House of Commons on Monday.
