I recently watched Ronin (1998), which ends implying that De Niro’s character saves the Good Friday agreement by killing a rogue IRA agent
Afterwards I was left wanting to understand more about The Troubles and I remembered having watched a documentary that I thought was very good, but I can’t remember its name!
It’s not Spotlight On The Troubles: A Secret History or Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland, which I’ve just recently watched and are very good.
Here’s what I remember:
* I watched it over 5 years ago. I think probably close to 10 years ago as it was after a visit to Belfast in 2015
* I think I watched it on YouTube, but it was a multipart upload of a broadcast documentary
* It felt very long and very detailed. Almost like it was to The Troubles what The World At War doc was to WW2
* I don’t know if it was old, or the YouTube quality was low
* I believe it went into some of the famous characters of The Troubles, as it introduced me to Brendan Hughes and Bernadette Devlin McAliskey
