Plot
The series spans four turbulent decades during the Northern Ireland conflict
The real Dolours Price was married to Irish actor Stephen Rea for two decades (1983 – 2003).
During this time, Rea appeared in the film for which he is arguably best known in the US: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game
In that film, Rea plays Fergus, an extremely reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) – the same organisation in which Price was active for many years.
I don’t often write reviews, but this series is extremely well done and moving
It tells of true events that took place in Northern Ireland between 1971 and recent years, including the bombing of the Old Bailey in London.
It is very raw and at times very painful to watch
The fact that the series is not fiction makes it much more interesting to watch.
I think everyone should watch the film to remember this tragic history and not forget it
Rightly or wrongly, I found it incredible to see the conviction of some IRA members, especially the two sisters, and what they were prepared to do for the cause of a united Ireland.
