Hillsborough (2014 film) in 2014, due to the 2012 High Court inquest still being in progress. However, after the inquest verdict, the BBC aired the documentary on 8 May 2016, with additional footage from the inquest and final verdict. In 2012, the Hillsborough Independent Panel released its report and established an archive of media relating to the disaster. Much of the evidence reviewed by the panel had not been previously released to the public or to the media. Daniel Gordon's film draws on this newly available evidence to describe the events of 15 April 1989, as well as their causes and their consequences.
