Trailer for Irish Indie Crime Drama THE TROUBLES: A DUBLIN STORY Based on True Events
A trailer has been released for the Irish indie crime drama, The Troubles: A Dublin Story, a movie based on true events. The film stars Ray Malone, Adam Redmond, William Delaney, Sophia Adli, and Sarah Hayden, and it is written and directed by Irish indie filmmaker Luke Hanlon, in his feature directorial debut. It's also produced by Luke Hanlon; and co-produced by Wayne Byrne and Ani Davtyan.
The full synopsis reads:
The Troubles, a Dublin Story is a hidden history story, based on true accounts of those involved, it explores rarely discussed events during The Troubles from the perspective of two working class brothers growing up in North Dublin in the 1970s and 80s who, far removed from the horrors of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, but shocked by the atrocities they witness on television, are naively drawn into the complex world of republicanism, gangsterism, the inevitable hypocrisy of the cause, finding themselves embroiled within the personal and moral consequences that entailed.
This initially premiered at the 2022 IndieCork Festival, and it is now getting a direct-to-VOD released in the US on March 5th. It looks like an okay movie, but like it could be a little more intense considering the story. Maybe it plays better in the actual film. Check out the trailer below:
