Overview
- Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, Bebe King, 6, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9, were killed at a Southport dance class on July 29 last year, with eight children and two adults injured.
- BBC Breakfast journalists followed the families for nine months for Our Girls: The Southport Families, which airs on BBC One on December 9 at 8pm and will stream on BBC iPlayer.
- Parents who were strangers before the attack say meeting regularly has been vital to coping, with Jenni Stancombe describing how they "pull the light out of the darkness."
- The families have launched legacy projects: Alice's WonderDance for young performers, Elsie's Story charitable trust for local youth, and Bebe's Hive to support grieving children, alongside a new school playground.
- The film includes home videos of the girls released publicly for the first time, offering personal glimpses without focusing on the crime or legal proceedings.
