Féile Derry will host the Derry premiere of Gerry Adams: A Ballymurphy Man, a new documentary by filmmaker Trisha Ziff.
The film, which had its world premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh last week, picked up the award for Best International Documentary at the festival.
Directed by Trisha Ziff and produced by Ross McDonnell, the feature-length film reflects on Adams’ 60 years of activism – from growing up in Ballymurphy in West Belfast, to prisoner, to peace negotiator and political leader.
Interwoven with Adams’ own words and archive imagery, the film offers unique insight into one of the most recognisable figures in Irish political life over the last five decades.
The Derry screening will take place on Wednesday 13 August at 8pm in Brunswick Moviebowl. All proceeds from tickets sold will be donated to Palestinian charities.
