The Five of Us – The Life of the Lawson Quins
Television (Full Length) – 1998

Good to see this as it doesn't seem to have been broadcast here in the UK. I am particularly pleased because they are my cousins - their paternal grandmother was one of my maternal grandmother's sisters. My late Aunt (who passed away in 2006) was devastated when she heard that Shirley Ann had been murdered.

A very powerful documentary - the strength, bond and love these sisters & brother have for one another & their beautiful mother is extraordinary. Such a tragedy and I feel deeply for what they all endured in those horrific years. To see them happy , successful & content today but still so very close is heartwarming.

hope the abusive step father has been very shamed in the public knowledge of such terrible behaviour

Throughly enjoyed watching this thank you. It would be great to know what they are all up to now since they did their last documentary. Does anyone know? What incredible people to have survived such heartache and come out smiling at the other end, truly courageous.
