Married To A Paedophile

This pioneering new drama documentary won multiple awards for its innovative lip sync approach.

What happens when your husband is arrested for downloading indecent images of children? A fascinating journey into one of the world’s most taboo subjects, Married to a Paedophile blends documentary and drama in a new way to tell the true story of two women struggling with the aftermath of their husband’s offences. Part documentary, part drama – the film combines hours of unprecedented real recordings with the families involved, with beautifully crafted drama scenes with lip-synced performances by BAFTA-nominated actors playing the real people concerned.  The film was showcased at a special viewing at The Sheffield International Docs Festival.
