When the Sky Falls (2000)
When the truth is hidden. When the witness is silenced.
Starring Joan Allen, Patrick Bergin, Pete Postlethwaite
Directed by John Mackenzie
Fact-based story about Irish crime-investigating reporter Sinead Hamilton, who invaded the Irish underworld and attempted to expose the illegitimate activities she found. Hampered by the system, a police consort is ineffectual at aiding her despite trying to step outside of the normal bounds. Kevin McNally plays her husband, who hates her activities and the danger in which she places herself. Nonetheless, he grudgingly admires her persistence and encourages her investigation.
