Sinead Murphy’s debut film, Sludge, follows a young homeless woman living on the fringes of Irish society and deeply in love with her best friend. Haunted by fractured traumatic memories and visions of a dark-hooded figure, she struggles to hold onto reality as her friend is drawn into the orbit of a dangerous underworld. As her world unravels, she must confront the terrifying truth behind the figure that stalks her, and face the darkness within.

Two young Dublin brothers must navigate loyalty, honour and the dangerous world of republicanism as they fuel the Northern war machine - by any means necessary.
