Directed by Trisha Ziff and produced by Ross McDonnell, the feature-length film reflects on Adams’ 60 years of activism - from growing up in Ballymurphy in West Belfast, to prisoner, to peace negotiator and political leader.

Interwoven with Adams’ own words and archive imagery, the film offers unique insight into one of the most recognisable figures in Irish political life over the last five decades.

The Derry screening will take place on Wednesday, August 13 at 8pm in Brunswick Moviebowl. All proceeds from tickets sold will be donated to Palestinian charities.

Tickets can be found here.
