Mr Bates vs The Post Office: The Real Story (2024)

Plot

A wave of financial discrepancies among subpostmasters across the UK led the Post Office to wrongly accuse them of theft, resulting in hundreds facing criminal charges and imprisonment. Lives were shattered, relationships strained, and reputations tarnished, all based on faults within the Post Office’s Horizon IT system, which they continually denied. Alan Bates, a former subpostmaster, has dedicated over two decades to seeking justice for those wronged by the institution they once cherished. His relentless pursuit highlights the devastating impact of systemic failure and the quest for accountability in this gripping true story.
