On returning home his father becomes determined to clear his name and prove his innocence after what he considers an unfair internal enquiry. During his pursuit for justice the case eventually reaches The House Of Commons to cause public outcry and a political furore.

A thoroughly British, searing drama about the conquest for truth and the sacrifices that come with it, The Winslow Boy is released on DVD and Blu-ray 3rd February 2020 from StudioCanal.
