"In the name of the father"

“In the name of the father”
The movie’s about the conflict between the Catholics in Eire (The Republic of Ireland) and the Protestants in Ulster (Northern Ireland) and in England. “In the Name of the Father” is a 1993 film directed by Jim Sheridan based on the true life story of the Guildford Four. The movie is about Gerry Conlon from Belfast. He is falsely implicated in the IRA bombing of a pub that kills several people while he is in London. The police convince the jury that Gerry, his friends and some of his family is guilty. They all have to go to prison. Gerry spends 15 years in prison, and during that time his father dies.

The conflict in Northern Ireland involves the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and the British. It started in 1923, when the British invaded Northern Ireland because they meant that Ireland should be a part of Great Britain. The IRA’s original goal when this happened was to get all of the British establishments out of Ireland and get up an independent Irish government.
In December at the 6th in 1921, the country Ireland was split in two. The Northern Ireland became a part of the Great Britain but not the rest. In the Northern Ireland the majority of the people were Protestants and therefore they didn’t mind that they were under control of the British, if the Northern Ireland became a part of Ireland again the Protestants would lose the privileges they had over the Catholics.
