Gary Owen - Freedom

4 Extra Debut. When a coalition government comes to power Jamie finds that he is now the target of new freedoms of speech. Stars Connor Allen.

Marian has always told her son, Jamie, that it is fine to be gay, fine to be who you really are and that, in years to come, of course it will be possible for him to marry another man or adopt children.

All this changes when a newly elected coalition government decides political correctness has got out of hand and passes a Freedom Law that licenses both the freedom to say whatever you like, however hateful, and the right not to be offended.

Now Jamie has to decide how to be true to himself in a society where intolerance has become acceptable, and Marian confronts what she might need to do to keep him safe.

Starring Suzanne Packer and Connor Allen.

Gary Owen’s absorbing drama about the political becoming personal - and how an apparently liberal society can threaten those who don't conform.
