Line of Events

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

In this 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.

The casting is absolutely spot on

The main characters, Gerry Adam, Brendan Hughes and Dolours Price, are absolutely perfectly formed.

You swear you are really reliving history there

It is gritty, exciting and the Belfast of the 1970s is also hilarious.

The Protestant/loyal population beat and burned Catholics out of their homes with the help of the police

There are only a few episodes left but this is edge of your seat for now..They have done a good job of showing both sides of the story so far and haven’t shied away from showing how the troubles started.
