Honour – is it a true story?
Based on real events, Honour follows DCI Caroline Goode as she first hears of Banaz Mahmod when her boyfriend reports her missing. Caroline discovers that Banaz had been to the police five times to report threats to life, even presenting a list of people wanting to kill her for shaming her family.
Caroline searches for the people on Banaz’ list. Ringleader Uncle Ari is questioned but denies the charges. Caroline speaks to estranged sister Bekhal and Kurdish activist, Diana Nammi and realises that this could be a murder enquiry. It is confirmed when one of the suspects confesses over the phone to the rape, torture and murder of Banaz.
Appalled that her own colleagues had missed multiple chances to save a young woman’s life and prevent a so-called “honour” killing, Caroline vowed that she would not rest until she finally got justice for Banaz. It was a promise that quickly became personally consuming.
This tense and emotionally vivid drama brings Caroline’s long and unwavering quest to life.
Honour airs on ITV at 9PM on Monday, September 28 and Tuesday, September 29.
