Severed Threads

By: John Dryden

Narrated by: Brian d’Arcy James, Ameet Chana, Hugo Docking

Three lives on three continents connected by one event… A young British schoolboy obsessed with school massacres, a radio journalist in India on the trail of a scoop for the BBC, and the boss of an American church-owned clothing firm are the threads that run through this intricate, suspenseful three-part thriller from award-winning writer-director John Dryden.

At first the three lives seem totally unconnected, but as the threads unravel they become tangled in a shocking heap of child labour, abuse and murder. A unique and compelling thriller, recorded on location in the USA, India, and the UK. Written and directed by John Dryden. A Goldhawk Essential Production.
