The 20th anniversary of Jean Charles de Menezes's death has prompted renewed focus on the events surrounding his shooting by police at a London Tube station in 2005. His mother, Maria de Menezes, is advocating for a truthful portrayal of her son, who was wrongly identified as a terror suspect. As the family prepares for a new Disney+ drama about his life and death, they express hopes that the series will provide clarity and reflect Jean's character accurately, addressing prior misinformation.
I was reassured that the truth was being told. They were going to be truthful about the story unlike other media outlets that told lies.
Our thoughts remain with his family and we reiterate our apology to them.
We are very happy that the truth about my brother's life is being told. The life of struggle, his roots in rural Brazil.
She hopes the drama series will portray her son's true character and shed light on his story.
