Brianna Ghey's mother opens up about new film: 'It reminds me of what I've lost'
Briefly

The documentary 'Brianna: A Mother's Story' by ITV focuses on the tragic murder of Brianna Ghey and her mother's campaign for child safety. After the brutal killing of Ghey in 2023, her mother, Esther, reflects on her loss and the public portrayal of her daughter. The film not only seeks to honor Brianna's memory but also aims to raise awareness regarding peer-on-peer violence and mental health issues among youth. Esther advocates for a ban on social media for minors, labeling it harmful for children.
When you lose a child, especially in a tragic circumstance which is so high profile, your child essentially becomes public property.
Esther also called for youngsters under the age of 16 to be banned from social media, which she described as a 'cesspit'.
The filmmakers have 'completely encapsulated Brianna's personality, especially her fun side,' which Esther attributed in part to input from her daughter's friends.
