"Woodward and Bernstein would have been proud." The Guardian

On August 31, 1997, the world was stunned to hear that Diana, Princess of Wales, Dodi Al Fayed and their driver Henri Paul had been killed in a car crash in a Paris road tunnel.

Diana: The Night She Died explores the background of this tragic incident and the failings of the early investigation.  It questions the validity of the claims of the French Report that Henri Paul was drunk and on medication at the time of the crash.  Claiming that the report is fundamentally flawed, the film argues that much of the evidence needed to establish the truth has been covered up.

After the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, conspiracy theories filled the headlines.  One book even suggested that Diana was murdered because the Spencer family had managed to lay their hands on the Holy Grail - and that it was stolen from the car after the crash while no one was looking.  As so many of the conspiracy theories are absurd, many simple questions about the fatal night of August 31st have never been asked - this documentary asks them all.

After gaining exclusive access to all 27 volumes of the French report into the incident, the filmmakers were in prime position to ask pointed questions of those involved.  Key witnesses have been silenced.  Others have gone missing.  Another committed suicide in suspicious circumstances.  The driver, Henri Paul, has links with the British Secret Service, MI6, and it appears his autopsy is unreliable.

Why did it take Diana's ambulance one hour and 10 minutes to cover the three-mile distance to the hospital?  All these questions are asked.  This documentary is compulsory viewing for conspiracy theorists.

Diana:  The Night She Died was produced in 2003 for Channel Five in England.
