What is the most historically accurate Jack The Ripper picture?

I think it would be interesting to tell the story of a person or family living in the East End in 1888 and show both their day to day living conditions and the effect that the murders had on the area, sort of a dark reflection of Downton Abbey. Focusing exclusively on the investigation requires the production to either choose a Jack or be doomed to an unresolved ending (which they hate). I'd rather see the murders used as an environmental element.

I wish somebody would make one, showing the real conditions of the East End and the victims' lives. It might be more suitable as a TV series, made by the BBC and keeping to the facts, (such as they are!)

Are there any pictures that are more or less accurate to the facts of the case? If there is, is it any good?
