The Grenfell Tower fire in west London, which killed 72 people, will be adapted into a drama by writer and director Peter Kosminksy.
The upcoming drama, Grenfell, will “shine a light on the human stories of those caught up in the tragedy” and draw on over five years of research.
Bafta award-winning director Peter, who directed the BBC adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, said: “Occasionally, events occur in our national story which touch us all. The fire at Grenfell Tower is such an event. We remember what we were doing when we heard about it, remember the pictures, the saturation coverage."
