Description
In last week's episode, we heard the tragic story of Martin Fletcher and what happened to 3 generations of his family on that fateful day in May 1985 at Bradford City Football Stadium. Martin often wondered why he survived when his family didn't, but a revelation from his mother some 9 years after the disaster, sent him on a 15-year-long hunt to find answers...and what he found was so explosive that he now knew why he'd been chosen to survive...so that he could share the truth.
