Paddy Hill: Rebuilding after a miscarriage of justice

A 2011 interview with Paddy Hill, wrongfully convicted of the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings

This month marks 50 years since 21 people were killed by the IRA in the Birmingham pub bombings. Six men, ‘The Birmingham Six’, were imprisoned for 16 years for murderous bomb attacks which they did not commit. In 2011, Stephen Sackur spoke to one of those men, Paddy Hill. He had been a free man for 20 years, but had he managed to rebuild his life?
