18+Season 1
Synopsis
Lockerbie: A Search for Truth (2025), Season 1 — a drama, five episodes, watch online on iFILM. It dramatises the real fight of British doctor Jim Swire, who lost his daughter when a bomb tore through Pan Am Flight 103.
On 21 December 1988 the plane comes apart over a Scottish town, and Flora Swire is among the 270 dead. From there the five episodes span more than two decades — a father's first questions, the trial of two Libyan suspects at a former military base in the Netherlands, the slow unravelling of everything he was told. The closer Jim looks, the less the official story holds.
Colin Firth plays Swire quietly, which is exactly why it stings. This sits closer to a patient investigation than a thriller: a study of grief curdling into a need for answers, and of trust in the system thinning out year by year. Stream Lockerbie: A Search for Truth Season 1 online on iFILM.
