BBC Three has announced a new documentary with the working title Manchester Bomb: The Girls' Story, which follows the stories of some of the survivors involved in the attack at Ariana Grande's concert in Manchester in May 2017.
22 people were killed after an attacker detonated a nail bomb in the lobby of Manchester Arena shortly after Ariana had finished performing.
At the time, Ariana took to Twitter to say she had "no words" to express her grief, and a few weeks after the terror attack, she returned to the UK to perform in the One Love Manchester concert, where she was joined by the likes of Katy Perry, Coldplay and Justin Bieber.
As the majority of the victims were female, the BBC documentary will explore the psychological impact on the girls and the young women who survived, as well as the ripple effect on their family and friends.
Over the last six months, the filming crew has followed a handful of 11 to 28-year-olds who were caught up in the bombing as they attend medical appointments and counselling sessions and attempt to recover.
Director Lizzie Kempton said: "I feel so privileged to have been filming with these girls. No-one can truly understand what they and their families have been through but I hope this documentary can give some insight and show the strength of these girls at such a difficult time in their lives."
BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh added: "Because this attack happened to young people, we felt it was vital that we found a way to tell the inspirational stories of those that were affected by this awful event as they rebuild their lives.
"It is an incredibly important film for BBC Three and we're delighted that Lizzie, who is a talented first time film-maker, has made this film."
The documentary will air on BBC Three around the first anniversary of the attack in May.
