The Trial of Christine Keeler takes a fresh look at one of the most infamous British stories: the chain of events in the 1960s that came to be known as the 'Profumo affair'. At the centre of the storm was 19-year-old Christine Keeler (Cookson) - a young woman whom the powerful, male-dominated establishment sought to silence and exploit, but who refused to play by their rules. The Trial of Christine Keeler takes us behind the headlines to tell a human story about the sexual and cultural politics of one of the most revealing and iconic stories of modern times.

Christine is pressured to sell her story to the newspapers, but powerful forces are beginning to form against her.

Arrogantly determined to brazen things out, John Profumo tells a deliberate lie in the House of Commons.

Stephen Ward realizes that his powerful friends no longer want to know him, and he finds himself facing trial.
