ONE NIGHT IN MILLSTREET
Special Features: North American Premiere. Q&A with director Andrew Gallimore
From two-time Irish Film and Television Best Sports Documentary winners Andrew Gallimore and Morgan Bushe, ONE NIGHT IN MILLSTREET is the story of Ireland in 1995, a snapshot of a country told through a prizefight between then-unknown Cabra underdog Steve "The Celtic Warrior" Collins and the larger-than-life champion Chris "Simply the Best" Eubank — a sporting event that would grip and shape an entire nation. Invoking the best sports documentaries, the film tells the story of a very rare kind of event — one that offers a freeze-frame of the state of a nation at a moment when everything was about to change. It has religion, racism, jingoism and hypnotism, and at its heart, a heroic against-all-odds fight narrative so captivating you simply couldn't script it. It was one night in Millstreet.
