Should the James Bulger story win an Oscar?
The Oscar nomination that people want banned.
When toddler James Bulger was abducted from a shopping centre in Merseyside in 1993 and murdered by two ten-year-old boys the country was appalled. Now a new short film has been made and nominated for an Oscar. βDetainmentβ uses the original police interviews with the boys as a basis for the drama. Itβs causing a lot of controversy as the family werenβt consulted and now want people to boycott it. We hear about the original trial from Winfred Robinson, who covered the story for the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ, and Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson, who has seen the Oscar-nominated film.
