Spanning four tumultuous decades during The Troubles in Northern Ireland
The real Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to Irish actor Stephen Rea. During that time, Rea appeared in the film for which he is probably best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game.
But in the face of violence, is the use of counter-violence justified?
In that film, Rea plays Fergus, a deeply reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)—the same organization with which Price was involved for many years. The series asks the tough question, if you are discriminated against by the state, and you use nonviolence to seek justice.
Fast-paced and beautifully shot and directed
The fact that the story allows us to see the point of view of all the players adds to the depth of this issue. It follows the evolution of the recent conflict in Northern Ireland through the lives of two sisters.
Strong acting by both the male and female leads, especially the two sisters
This series is a must-see for anyone interested in the 30-year conflict in Northern Ireland. The new season of "The Silos" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
