Two-year-old Bulger was tortured and killed by 10-year-olds Robert Thompson and Jon Venables in Liverpool in 1993, in what became one of Britain's most notorious crimes and subsequent murder trials.
The paid snatched James Bulger from outside a butcher's shop in Bootle, Merseyside, in 1993, while his mother popped into a store for just a few seconds.
The film recreates the moments before and after the murder and is based on transcripts of the police interviews with Venables and Thompson.

James" father, Ralph Bulger, 51, said Hollywood should "hang its head in shame" for nominating the "sympathetic portrayal' of the killers.
The filmmaker previously told BBC News that the film was not meant to cause any further grief for Bulger's family.
"I'm incredibly sorry for any upset that the film has caused to them; it was never meant to bring any more anguish to the Bulger family", the filmmaker told RTE.
"As we set out to make a fact-based film that was impartial, we did not attempt to contact any of the families involved and instead relied exclusively on the factual material", he said.
In an interview with BBC News, he added: "I wouldn't expect them to be comfortable with a film which humanises the boys but I do hope they understand the reason it was made, and it certainly wasn't to bring any more grief to them".
