AETN UK Commissions for Crime & Investigation Network

LONDON: AETN UK has commissioned HanrahanMedia to produce Evil Up Close—Vanessa George: The Nursery Nurse Paedophile for Crime & Investigation Network.

The hour-long film will be made by HanrahanMedia’s documentary arm, FirstLookTV. It will examine the demise of a mother and wife by the doings of Vanessa George, who has been charged with seven child abuse offenses. The project will feature interviews with her husband and two daughters, offering never-before-seen insight into George. Police, prosecutors, former colleagues and members of the community also speak about their experiences.

Will Hanrahan, the creative director at HanrahanMedia, said: “FirstLookTV is establishing a reputation for delivering high-quality documentaries on difficult and emotional subjects. The team prides itself on its sensitive and revealing approach. Evil Up Close not only constructs the case against Vanessa George but allows her family to speak out as victims also. We are looking forward to raising the bar in this field and delivering more of what FirstLookTV does best.”

Tom Davidson, the managing director of AETN UK, added: “We are delighted to be commissioning more content from FirstLookTV and this program will be a feature of Great British Crime Month on the channel in October.”
