A shocking miscarriage of justice which led to the execution of Mahmood Mattan.
It happened 70 years ago but the story didn't end there...

Mahmood Mattan was hanged 70 years ago for a murder he did not commit.
The aftermath of his execution has run deep through the Mattan family.
All three of his sons faced years of prejudice because of what happened to their father:
lives changed forever by an injustice committed by the State.
And in the end, it was too much for them.
