Bobby Sands: 66 Days

Based on the prison diaries of Irish Republican Bobby Sands and his fatal 1981 hunger strike.  His non-violent protest to be classified as a political prisoner became a defining moment in 20th century Irish history.  Sands' death after 66 days marked a key turning point in the relationship between Britain and Ireland, and brought a global spotlight to the Northern Irish conflict which eventually triggered international efforts to resolve it.

Born and Reared

A moving documentary that explores contemporary Northern Ireland, through the lives of four men living in the aftermath of violent conflict; a story about reimagined identity of place and the fragility of masculinity.

This documentary had its World Premiere at the 2016 Galway Film Fleadh.
