Plot
Four tumultuous decades during the Troubles in Northern Ireland
The real Dolores Price was married to Irish actor Stephen Rea for two decades (1983-2003). During that time, Rhea appeared in the film for which he is perhaps best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller, The Crying Game.
The casting is absolutely spot on
In that film, Ria plays Fergus, an extremely reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) – the same organization Price has been involved with for many years. Lead actors Jerry Adams, Brendan Hughes and Dolores Price were absolutely perfectly cast.
You’d swear you were actually there, reliving history
It’s tough, it’s exciting, and there’s 1970s Belfast everywhere. You’d really think you’re watching a documentary with such well-shot stuff.
The Protestant/loyalist population, with the help of the police, beat and burned Catholics in their homes
So far they have done a good job of showing two sides of the story, and they have not shied away from showing how the troubles started.
