Synopsis

During the 1970s, mainland Britain was repeatedly attacked by Irish Republican terrorists. Amid a mood of public panic, the police arrested large numbers of Irish men and women, leading to the convictions of many people who were later cleared by the courts. In The Name Of The Father is a powerful drama based on the real story of Gerry Conlon, who spent 14 years in prison for a deadly pub bombing he did not commit.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
