Little Boy Blue tells the story of the senseless shooting of Rhys Jones, who was caught in the crossfire of a gang dispute while walking home from football practice. The drama covers the immediate aftermath, the intense police investigation led by Detective Superintendent Dave Kelly (played by Stephen Graham), and the agonizing journey of Rhys’s parents, Melanie and Steve Jones, as they navigate grief and the pursuit of justice.
Known for his sensitive approach to real-life tragedies (such as The Moorside and Philomena ), Pope worked closely with the Jones family to ensure the series accurately honored Rhys's memory while exposing the reality of gang coercion. Little.Boy.Blue.2017.Complete.720p.HDTV.x264
