In “The Women of Lockerbie,” a grieving mother searches Lockerbie, Scotland for her son’s remains, who died in the Pan Am 103 crash. She comes into contact with the women of Lockerbie who, in an act of compassion, want to salvage the clothes of the victims to give back to their families, but are met with resistance by the United States Government.
