Unquiet Graves: The Story of the Glenanne Gang (2020x5)

Ημερομηνία προβολής: Σεπ 16, 2020

Details the British government's role in the murder of over 120 civilians in counties Armagh and Tyrone. The so-called Glenanne Gang rampaged through those two counties, and across the Republic Of Ireland in a campaign that lasted from July 1972 to the end of 1978. The British government knew that collusion was going on and condoned it. The suffering of victims and survivors is today compounded by the refusal of both the Irish and British governments in dealing with the past by facing up to their responsibilities in pursuing truth and justice for those affected. The film hopes to redress an imbalance within public discourse while also offering a contextual appreciation of these tragic events from the perspectives of the families themselves, an important procedure not adequately afforded by institutional broadcasters in cases of state violence.
