This film gives voice to members of the Justice for the Forgotten, tireless campaigners for truth and justice for their loved ones.

On May 17th, 1974, three bombs exploded in Dublin City Centre killing 27 people and injuring 258. Later that evening, a bomb in Monaghan Town killed 7 more innocent people. This day saw the greatest loss of life in any single day of the Troubles.

In 1993, the Ulster Volunteer Force claimed sole responsibility for the atrocities, but many families and survivors believe that the British Military were involved. Screening on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the bombings, this film gives voice to members of the Justice for the Forgotten, tireless campaigners for truth and justice for their loved ones.Read moreLess
