This documentary explores the life and beliefs of Dolours Price, a controversial IRA activist convicted of involvement in the Old Bailey bombing in 1973. Through revealing interviews, filmed in 2010 under the condition of posthumous release, the film examines the origins of her commitment to Irish Republicanism. Price reflects on the bombing, a subsequent 200-day hunger strike, and her involvement in the disappearances of suspected Republican informants. The film offers a stark portrait of a figure whose actions ignited both fervent loyalty and widespread fear during the Troubles.
