The extraordinary legal battle between former husband and wife Johnny Depp and Amber Heard inadvertently became the social media event of 2022. With it came an unexpected spotlight on a group likely unused to the spotlight: Mr Depp’s ferocious legal team.
A year later, trial is now being put back on display through Channel 4’s new three-part documentary Depp v Heard. The series from Bafta-nominated director Emma Cooper, pledges to examine what the blockbuster events of last spring reveal about “violence, gender and the memeification of justice in the era of post-truth”.
