Based on several real-life accounts, this searing drama explores the ambiguous role of the Catholic Church in the North’s political struggle for freedom. Father Brendan (Murphy) is an idealistic young priest called to an abandoned house to hear the last confession of a suspected informer awaiting execution by the IRA. Refusing to let the man be murdered, Brendan sets in motion a chain of events that will expose not only the Church’s collusion with terrorists but the fundamental hypocrisy at the heart of Catholic nationalism. Writer-director Marion Comer has created a highly complex, emotionally charged film, whose tension builds effortlessly to a stunning and all too inevitable climax.
