Titanic Town

An extraordinary time called for an extraordinary woman.

1998 · 100 min · ★ 5.3 · Drama

Belfast 1972: The politically naive Bernie is trying to bring up a normal family in less than normal surroundings. Her best friend is accidentally shot dead by the IRA, and her neighbours are constantly raided by the army. In this climate of fear she stands up and condemns the murders. Criticising both factions, her call for a ceasefire is interpreted as an attack against the IRA, and as her peace movement takes momentum, she and her family are placed in the frontline.

Directed by Roger Michell · Written by Anne Devlin
