The Briefs

This documentary follows the skilful lawyers of a busy Manchester legal aid firm as they defend clients through the pressures of criminal law. With unusual access, it captures the human drama and hard choices behind each case. The film reveals a corner of the justice system that usually stays out of sight. It is an engaging watch about law, defence, and the people caught up in Britain's courts. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
