See this movie...!

This movie was filmed in my old northside Dublin neighborhood. While it's billed as a conventional drug-gang thriller, it's really much more. The protagonist is a political refugee, in Dublin having fled the horrific and long-running violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (deemed by Wikipedia, "Africa's World War"). Modern Irish politics, economics, prejudice, and his mysterious past undermine his efforts to start anew.

If you want to get a feel for modern Dublin, see this movie!

(Not really suitable for young children due to disturbing, but not gratuitous, violence.)
