Diana 'cover-up' documentary trailer launches

On what would have been Diana, Princess of Wales’ 50th birthday tomorrow (July 1), the filmmakers behind the controversial Cannes break-out documentary Unlawful Killing are unveiling of a  new trailer ahead of the film’s world premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh in Eire on July 6.

The trailer goes  live at 10.00am on July 1 via the film’s official website www.unlawfulkilling.com and via the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/DDAPublicRelations.

The 90-second edit sets out to discredit many of the misconceptions that have surrounded the film since its screening at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

The film mixes candid interviews with recreations of some of the key moments from the inquest into Diana’s death, which was not held until a decade after the accident. The questions the film asks, as it seeks to uncover the truth about the world’s most famous car crash, shakes perceptions of how Diana and her partner Dodi Fayed died and where responsibility ultimately lies for this apparent Establishment cover-up.

Actor Keith Allen (father of singer Lily Allen) was at the centre of the inquest, covertly observing proceedings in the courtroom and amongst the press. His documentary recreates key moments from the inquest, and demonstrates how the alleged cover-up was perpetrated. It claims vital evidence of foul play was hidden from public scrutiny, and shows how the Royal Family was exempted from giving evidence, and how journalists, particularly those working for the British media, systematically misreported what was happening.
