Contains scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.
Available for over a year
My Bates Vs The Post Office tells the true story of the injustice faced by more than 700 sub post masters - who were charged with fraud and theft due to a faulty IT system called Horizon. One of those featured is Jess Kaur, from Walsall and just a warning that people may find it upsetting. Jess, a 52-year-old mother of three ran Lazy Hill Post Office, in Aldridge, and was wrongly accused of stealing 11,000 pounds from the branch.
