Synopsis
Three Girls (2017) is a BBC Three miniseries you can watch online on iFILM — a three-part drama about the real Rochdale child sexual exploitation case, in which nine men were convicted in 2012 after years of abuse that authorities had been told about and chosen to ignore.
The drama centres on three teenage girls and Sara Rowbotham (Maxine Peake), a sexual health worker who kept pushing their accounts up the chain only to watch the system close ranks against them. Molly Windsor, Ria Zmitrowicz, and Liv Hill play the girls without sentimentality; Lesley Sharp brings quiet fury to the social worker who witnessed the institutional failure up close. Director Philippa Lowthorpe keeps the camera close without ever turning the subject into spectacle.
Screenwriter Nicole Taylor built the script from firsthand testimony, and it shows: the drama asks uncomfortable questions about who gets believed and why. Stream Three Girls (2017) online on iFILM.
