In the Name of the Father (1993)




Based on the true story of the Guildford Four, a group people are deliberately convicted falsely and incarcerated as IRA terrorists.

This is a favourite movie of mine, it gets me upset every time I see people getting imprisoned innocently. The story, however, is much more than a political tale, it also depicts a complicated father-son relationship, and as ever Daniel Day-Lewis is perfect in the son's role as a slightly dim and irresponsible hippie.
