Madeleine McCann: A Global Obsession

'Madeleine McCann: A Global Obsession' is presented by journalist Martin Frizell, who in 2007 broke the story of Madeleine McCann's disappearance from the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz. The story garnered worldwide media coverage with her parents Kate and Gerry McCann leading the campaign to find out what has happened to their daughter. The programme explores the way the press reacted to the story, with hundreds of children going missing each year and the coverage of these cases been next to nothing. The film also looks at the legal battles the McCann's have faced with press intrusion and looks at how the case still attracts media attention even now.
