Unforgiven: The Boys Who Murdered James Bulger
Channel 4's flagship documentary strand, Dispatches, kicks off a new series with a disturbing film about Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, who as ten-year-olds murdered toddler James Bulger.
As their release from local authority secure units becomes imminent, this film investigates whether they are ready to return to society, exploring claims that their punishment has been a sham. Reporter Deborah Davies investigates how inmates at secure units are treated and interviews experts to learn whether eight years has been sufficient time to successfully rehabilitate the pair.
