The BBC have released a trailer for Stephen Butchard‘s new drama PRISONER 951 ahead of its premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this month.
The new, four part factual drama stars Narges Rashidi and Joseph Fiennes and is based on the extraordinary true story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian citizen who was imprisoned and held hostage by the Iranian state for six years, and her husband Richard Ratcliffe who campaigned for justice and her return. Stephen’s screenplays are based on the forthcoming book, A Yard of Sky, written by Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Richard Ratcliffe. It is produced by Fremantle’s Dancing Ledge Productions.
Stephen Butchard is represented by Bethan Evans at The Agency (London) Ltd.
