Documenting his crimes committed both in the UK and across the globe, this new film weaves historical victim testimony, archive and interviews with those who met Glitter on the showbiz circuit, as well as lawyers involved in both the prosecution and defence of Glitter during the different trials across the decades.

Were the authorities slow to react? And did the Britain of the time dismiss anyone who dared to 'speak out'?
