The 1993 drama described is Jim Sheridan's powerful film, which dramatizes the true-life ordeal of Gerry Conlon. Portrayed in an Oscar-nominated performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, Conlon is a directionless young man from Belfast whose life is shattered when he and his friends (Review) are scapegoated for a horrific IRA pub bombing. The film's title is a poignant reference to its central relationship: Gerry's struggle alongside his gentle, law-abiding father, Giuseppe, who is also unjustly imprisoned and ultimately dies in custody.
The movie is based on the real story of the Guildford Four, one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in modern British history. Their convictions were eventually quashed in 1989 after they had served 15 years in prison. Adapted from Conlon's autobiography, "Proved Innocent," the film powerfully depicts the political turmoil
