In the Name of the Father
“I will fight on. In the name of my father and of the truth.“
October 5th, 1974. At the height of the Troubles, the IRA orchestrates the Guildford pub bombings. Belfast native Jerry is
arrested by the British authorities and coerced into a fasle confession, resulting in the life imprisonment of both himself
and his father. With the help of a sympathetic British lawyer, they fight to clear their names. Based on the true story of
the Guildford Four, Jim Sheridan's prison drama is a seering indictment of the unforgivable injustice committed by the
British government.
