TV Drama – Factual Drama Series (Featuristic Films)
Documentary – In Production (Hide & Seek Media)
Featuristic Films has signed my life rights for a factual drama, and we are now awaiting commissioning.
My life has been unimaginably hard since Jools died. An already unbearable loss has been compounded by the many challenges and failures that followed. This is not a path I ever expected to walk. But if speaking openly about the truth, the mistakes made, and the reality of life after losing my son helps even one family avoid this heartbreak, then I will keep speaking.
I am profoundly grateful to the team at Featuristic, including Meredith Coral, Gary Wright and Charlotte Coleman, for believing this story matters. Their commitment to telling it honestly, without sanitising the pain or the flaws, means more to me than I can express.
You will see me broken. You will see me on my knees. And you will see that, somehow, even when I do not want to, I keep going. I survive, and I fight with everything I have for change, so that other bereaved parents do not have to face what we have faced.
As my wonderful Jools once said to me, words I have watched and listened to many times, “I know you can do this, Mum. Be strong and stay brave. I love you.”
This drama highlights the gaps that failed Jools and continue to fail children today, particularly in social media data, safeguarding, and early investigative action. My campaigning for Jools’ Law exists because parents deserve the truth when the unthinkable happens.
If this series can spark conversations, increase accountability, and help drive the change that is so desperately needed, then Jools’ short life will continue to have a powerful legacy.
Hide & Seek Media has been walking alongside me for the past year and a half, quietly and respectfully documenting my journey. They are an incredibly thoughtful and compassionate team, always present with kindness and care during some very difficult moments. I trust them completely, and I am deeply grateful to have them tell this story.
I am also lucky to say that their founder, Dominic Streeter, has become a true friend. Over time, he has come to know every part of my life, and that level of trust means everything to me.
From the outset, I have been clear that I do not plan to hold back. I want you to see the truth of my life, including the pain and the difficulties, but also the progress being made, the determination to change the law, and my search for answers for Jools.
They hope to travel with us to the United States for the TikTok hearing on 16th Jan, subject to permission to film in the courtroom. We are currently waiting to hear. The team last filmed on 10 December 2025, when they visited my home alongside my close friends Charmaine Callaghan and Claire Thomas.
