Fascinating, eye opening view by an independent American documentary crew filming the IRA during their most turbulent times.
The problem is the IRA rated themselves a bit too smart, the film crew were lead by the CIA, MI5 + MI6 and Mossad, who were smarter.
The footage and interviews gained are ground-breaking for the time, it's a shame that it took 50+ years for the BBC to get hold of this 'documentary'. Why the inverted commas? It seems that this was an infiltration and intelligence operation all along. Lots of unfiltered footage for the above mentioned services to study, and I'm sure they did.
No one comes out of this untarnished, not even Martin McGuinness, the main architect of the Good Friday Agreement.
Watch it twice, this is too informative to be ignored. I'm an Englishman, and yet again I'm ashamed.
