Scenario
Covering four tumultuous decades during the Troubles in Northern Ireland
The real Dolours Price was married to Irish actor Stephen Rea for two decades (1983-2003). During this period, Rea appeared in the films for which he is probably best known in the US: 1992’s romantic thriller The Crying Game.
and you do not use violence to bring justice
In the film, Rea plays Fergus, a very reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the same organization with which Price has been associated for years. In this series, we ask the difficult question of whether the state discriminates against you.
But violence is accepted or counter-violence is justified
The fact that the story allows us to see the perspectives of all the players adds depth to the issue. It follows the development of the recent conflict in Northern Ireland through the lives of two sisters.
Dynamic, beautifully shot and directed
Strong performances by the leads and women, especially the two sisters. This series is a must-see for anyone interested in Northern Ireland’s 30-year conflict.
