Narrative
Spanning four tumultuous decades during The Troubles in Northern Ireland
The real Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to Irish actor Stephen Rea. During that time, Rea appeared in the film for which she is probably best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game.
and use non-violence to seek justice
In that film, Rea plays Fergus, a deeply reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) – the same organization with which Price was involved for many years.. This series asks the difficult question of whether the state discriminates against you.
But when they are met with violence, the use of counter-violence is justified
The fact that the story allows us to see the point of view of all the players adds to the depth of this issue. It follows the evolution of the recent conflict in Northern Ireland through the lives of two sisters.
Fast-paced and beautifully filmed and directed
Strong acting from both the male and female actors, especially the two sisters. This series is a must-watch for anyone with an interest in the 30-year conflict in Northern Ireland.
