Molly Russell: A Father’s Journey

Almost five years ago, 14-year-old Molly Russell from north west London took her own life. Discovering that his daughter had been viewing thousands of images promoting suicide and self-harm, her father Ian Russell began a campaign: to remove that harmful content from social media. As the inquest into Molly’s death concludes, Ian reflects on his journey for justice, and the influence of Molly’s story.
