Gritty drama Kiri explores what happens when a social worker makes a tragic error of judgment…

Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley) plays Miriam, a hard-working and excellent professional who allows a little black girl under her care to spend unsupervised time with her birth grandparents ahead of her adoption by a white family.
