Paddy Hill, Victim of Miscarriage of Justice (Birmingham Six)

Stephen Sackur talks to a member of the Birmingham Six, victims of a gross miscarriage of justice. In the 20 years since his release, has Paddy Hill been able to rebuild his life?

A group of men known as the Birmingham Six were freed after spending 16 years in prison for two murderous bomb attacks which they did not commit. In a special edition of Hardtalk, Stephen Sackur talks to one of the men, Paddy Hill. In the 20 years since he ceased - in his words - to be held hostage by the British state, has he been able to rebuild his life?
