That Summer Day

Synopsis

That Summer Day, is a break-through drama from Hat Trick Productions for the BBC, inspired by the events of 7 July 2005 and told through the unique perspective of children.
In the hours and weeks following the London bombings, the BBC Children's websites were flooded with messages from the nation's children, clearly struggling to come to terms with what happened and the potentially threatening environment in which they now found themselves.
A sensitive portrayal of the reactions of young people to the terrible events, That Summer Day aims to help younger viewers to address such important issues and to help them realise that they are not alone in the anxieties that they may still be feeling
This one-hour drama follows six fictional school children, their stories - related to the themes and issues raised by real children - woven into the reality of the day using archive television and radio news footage.
As the morning progresses, we see the breaking news unfold and the different ways in which the day's events impact on each child.
