The Far Side of Revenge

This documentary is part of Margo Harkin's work chronicling the Northern Irish Troubles, continuing from her previous films such as 12 Days in July and Bloody Sunday – A Derry Diary. The film follows dramatist Teya Sepinuck and a group of Northern Irish women as they present their often shocking personal narratives to the public.

The women involved come from politically diverse backgrounds, including Kathleen, whose husband was killed by the IRA, and Anne, a former IRA quartermaster whose uncle was murdered by the British Army on Bloody Sunday. Harkin’s film offers a unique perspective on reconciliation, showcasing how these women bond over their shared experiences while confronting their painful pasts.
