THE PUSH From the BAFTA-winning team at Candour Productions, The Push is the inside story of a murder trial in Edinburgh, Scotland, where a man stands accused of pushing his wife from a hillside to her death. Part intimate portrait of a grieving family, part real-life courtroom drama, this two-part documentary allows viewers to watch all the evidence as if on the jury benches themselves. In September 2021, newlyweds Fawziyah Javed and Kashif Anwar from West Yorkshire, England, travelled to Edinburgh for a mini break. The couple walked at sunset to the top of ‘Arthur’s Seat’ – an extinct volcano and popular landmark with views over the city. Only one of them made it down alive. Fawziyah Javed, a 31-year-old lawyer who was pregnant with the couple’s first child, fell 50ft to her death from the top of the rocky precipice. A strange series of events on the cliffside in the dimming light seem to suggest the fall may have been no accident. But with no witnesses to the incident and a panicked husband claiming she slipped, the question is, did a murder occur that evening? A jury of 15 men and women decide – did she fall, or was she pushed?

The local police think they are investigating a tragic accident. At first, it’s a complete mystery. No one with his description has been reported missing. The police have only one lead – the Rolex watch on his wrist. The serial number unlocks the name of the murder victim as a Mr Ronald Platt. But when they visit his home, Mr Platt seems to be inexplicably alive. Little did they know they’d find themselves unravelling a twisted story of money, murder and stolen identities with echoes of ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’, leading to an audacious con man who turned out to be one of Interpol’s most wanted.
