One woman’s life is in the hands of 12 female jurors in The Welkin. Can Justice prevail?

Rural Suffolk, 1759. Sally Poppy is sentenced to hang for murder but claims to be with child. A jury of 12 local women are assembled to decide if she’s telling the truth and determine her destiny.

With only one hour to decide, opinions changing and an angry mob rising outside, the women wrestle with their newfound power and the weight of justice. Will they make the right choice?
