GERRY ADAMS: A BALLYMURPHY MAN

Special Features: North American Premiere

In Trisha Ziff’s unique documentary, filmed over five years, former political leader and Irish Republican activist Gerry Adams tells his story for the first time, reflecting on his working-class childhood in Belfast, through to The Troubles and his role in the Northern Ireland peace process. Illustrated with a wealth of historical imagery and footage, the film offers a very personal insight into Adams’ world — relaxed, informal and uncensored. Imprisoned and shot, Adams was demonized and censored by the establishment media — yet in the end, the British and their allies were forced to recognize his legitimacy and negotiate with him and his party, Sinn Féin, which helped bring about the Good Friday Agreement.
