Scenario
Spanning four tumultuous decades during The Troubles in Northern Ireland
The real Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to the Irish actor Stephen Rea. During that period, Rea appeared in the movie for which he is arguably best-known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game.
But are met with violence, is the use of counter violence justified
In that film, Rea plays Fergus, an extremely reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)–the same organization that Price was involved with for many years.. This series asks the difficult question, if the State discriminates against you , and you use non violence to seek justice.
Fast moving and beautifully filmed and directed
The fact that the story allows us to see the view point of all players adds to the depth of this issue. Traces the evolution of the recent conflict in Northern Ireland through the the lives of two sisters.
Powerful acting by both male and female leads, especially the two sisters
This series is a must see for anyone with an interest in the 30 yr conflict in Northern Ireland.. A new season of "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
