Described by The Guardian newspaper as a documentary "with a difference", three-part Netflix series, Sophie: A Murder in West Cork comes to Netflix next week.

Regarded as one of the most notorious murders in Ireland in recent history, Sophie Toscan du Plantier was a French film and TV producer who was killed while at her isolated holiday cottage in West Cork, Ireland, just days before Christmas in 1996.

Executive produced by double Oscar-winning producer Simon Chinn and scored by Soundology's Nainita Desai (For Sama, The Reason I Jump), the documentary brings together contributions from du Plantier's family with that of Ian Bailey, the man at the centre of the investigation.

My Scientology Movie director John Dower directs, while the executive producers are Simon Chinn, Jonathan Chinn, and Suzanne Lavery for Lightbox.

The series streams from 30th June 2021 on Netflix.
