Did you know that Bernadette Devlin was once described by an opponent as “Fidel Castro in a mini skirt”? That she punched the Home Secretary in the Houses of Parliament the day after Bloody Sunday? That she was elected MP at 21?

Bernadette Devlin McAliskey has certainly had a tumultuous political career and her political journey continues to this day. Lelia Doolan’s documentary allows her personal and political story to unfold in this atmospheric and evocative film. Using archive footage and a series of interviews with Bernadette herself over a number of years, a complex and intricate picture evolves of a formidable figure of recent Irish politics.

    Went along to the shed with 5 friends and was told the film was cancelled-what happened?

    Apologies for that, we had technical difficulties with the projection and decided to cancel rather than show the film.

    We will be rescheduling the films so there will be an opportunity to see it at a later date.

    Thanks.
