Filmmaker Jamie Robert's heartrending documentary retells the story of last year's terrorist attack, piecing together the events of the evening through the eyes of the young women and teenage girls who survived it, along with interviews with members of the emergency service who arrived on the scene that night.

The testimonies are harrowing and powerful; a young woman remembers "flying completely through the air because of the force of the blast... I saw my legs on fire".

Another who was caught up in the horrors of the venue's foyer recalls "a wash of orange light... as the flames rolled [towards us]."
