The Push: Murder on the Cliff

Production Note - Limited Series

The Push: Murder on the Cliff is a standalone limited series that concluded its 2-episode run in March 2024. This Channel 4 documentary focuses on the high-profile trial of Kashif Anwar regarding the death of Fawziyah Javed at Arthurs Seat. The production utilized extensive courtroom footage and interviews to document the legal process as it unfolded in real time. Because the series was built around the specific timeline of a single criminal trial, the narrative reached its natural end point once the jury delivered its final verdict.

The scale of the project was intentionally narrow to provide an in-depth examination of domestic abuse and the complexities of the Scottish legal system. Producers worked closely with the victims family to ensure the story was told with sensitivity and factual precision. As a closed-ended factual program, the series was never intended to expand beyond the scope of this specific case. The finality of the courts decision serves as the ultimate conclusion to the productions investigative journey.
