Unreliable Witness by Sky News investigates the case of Ellie Williams, a 19-year-old who posted on the internet that she had been trafficked by an Asian gang (and illustrated the story photos of her injuries).
Her post made people in her town angry against Asian men, Barrow-in-Furness, and even some violence started. Here’s the twist to the story: she was arrested and accused of making up the whole story, including self-inflicted injuries.
Hosts Jason Farrell and Liz Lane covered the story and now they revisit Barrow to crack the case. Why did Williams make such a story? With exclusive access to the people who was close to the case, this season of StoryCast promises a compelling investigation into a case that shook a community.
