Short description

Yorkshire, 1974. Fear, mistrust and institutionalised police corruption are running riot. Rookie journalist Eddie Dunford is determined to search for the truth in an increasingly complex maze of lies and deceit surrounding the police investigation into a series of child abductions. When young Clare Kemplay goes missing, Eddie and his colleague, Barry, persuade their editor to let them investigate links with two similar abductions that draw them into a deadly world of secrecy, intimidation, shocking revelations and police brutality.

What's left behind the scenes

The title of writer David Peace's trilogy, "Red Riding," is a play on Yorkshire (a county in northern England divided into North, West, and East Ridings) and the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood." The action of the first film from 1974 (followed by films in 1980 and 1983) takes place in the West Riding. One of the missing girls wore a red hooded jacket, and one of the criminals was known by the nickname Wolf.
