Set during the 1980's in Belfast, we follow two uneasy business partners, one Catholic the other Protestant, as they attempt to corner the lucrative market in hairpieces with the help of a dangerously unstable wig salesman.

Superb apocalyptic tale of a young sax player, who witnesses a brutal, sectarian, terrorist bombing in a dancehall and becomes steadily more involved in trying to find the killers, pursuing them through the towns and countryside of Armagh.

Martin McGartland was an unemployed Republican fence, a petty crime that led to the IRA kneecapping of his partner. Picked up by the police he soon found himself operating as both an informer for his Special Branch handler, Fergus, with whom he developed a close relationship, and at tremendous risk, infiltrating and moving up within the ranks of the Provos while routinely betraying their activities; the title coming from the 50 murders that it is believed Martin directly prevented.

A superb drama-documentary which won Ken Loach a top award at the Cannes Film Festival. The events revolve around the alleged shoot-to-kill policy in Northern Ireland and centre on an English policeman who runs up against a web of lies, intrigue and violence. A tense, enthralling thriller.

Bobby Sands was the IRA member who led the 1981 Long Kesh hunger strike as part of a campaign to achieve the status of political prisoners and not that of criminals. The first section of film deals with daily prison life, the 'dirty' protest and the violence, the second is a long discussion on the meaning of life with a sympathetic priest and the third depicts the last weeks and death of a man voluntarily dying of starvation.
