The trailer reveals some of the many people who have been interviewed for the in-depth documentary, including family members who have never spoken to media before and people who lived in Schull at the time of Sophie's death, as well as those involved in the investigation that followed, and the press who reported on it.

The clip also includes footage taken at the time of Sophie’s murder, with the filmmakers having been given access to film of Sophie from before she died, as well as local news reports.
Filmed in Ireland and France, A Murder in West Cork highlights what has become one of the most talked about murders in Ireland in recent years.
“In making this documentary, we wanted to honour Sophie, her family and that rural community in the West of Ireland,” says executive producer Suzanne Lavery. “I find it genuinely astonishing that something so terrible could have happened, not just to a woman who appeared to have such a gilded life, but in such a beautiful place and to a community that prided itself on its peacefulness, its safety and inclusivity. It’s what drew Sophie there. What does seem so tragic is that Sophie’s perfect escape turned out to be where she lost her life.”

Sophie: A Murder in West Cork arrives on Netflix on 30th June. If you’re looking for something else to watch, visit our TV Guide. Check out our Documentaries hub for all the latest news.
