In The Name Of The Father
1993
The story of Gerry Conlon and the Guildford Four, who were wrongly convicted of the 1974 IRA pub bombings and spent years in prison before their convictions were overturned, is told alongside the efforts of solicitor Gareth Peirce to win their release. Daniel Day-Lewis gives a powerful performance in Jim Sheridan's passionate drama of injustice.
