Synopsis

During the 2006 Northern Ireland peace talks, Sinn Féin leader Martin McGuinness and Democratic Unionist Party leader Ian Paisley are forced to travel by car together. Over the detour-filled trip through the Scottish countryside, they will take the biggest leap of faith and change.

Our take

With a fire-and-brimstone performance from Timothy Spall and a shrewd, affable turn from Colm Meaney, this gripping work of historical fantasy imagines how mortal enemies might begin a dialogue. In a moving narrative, director Nick Hamm reflects on living for a cause bigger than any one man.
