Scenario
Spanning four turbulent 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 time, Rea appeared in the film for which she is arguably best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game.
I don’t often write reviews, but this series is extremely well done and moving
In that film, Rea plays Fergus, a highly reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) – the same organization that Price was involved with for many years. It tells the story of real events that took place in Northern Ireland between 1971 and the last few years, including the bombing of the Old Bailey in London.
It is very raw, and at times very painful to watch
The fact that it is non-fiction makes it that much more interesting to watch. Rightly or wrongly, it was incredible to see the convictions of some of the IRA members, especially the two sisters, and what they were willing to do for the cause of a united Ireland.
I think everyone should watch it to remember and not forget this tragic piece of contemporary history
