Fifty Dead Men Walking
This is inspired by the true story of Martin McGartland, a two-bit hustler living in Northern Ireland in the 80’s, at the height of “The Troubles”. He’s recruited by both by the IRA and the Brits at a young age and proceeds to carve out his niche as a high-level informant over the course of two decades. His information is said to have saved the lives of at least 50 men. Tense and riveting.
"The IRA still has him marked for death, and indeed there was an attempt on his life in Canada 10 years after he fled. He’s still out there somewhere." Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times
