Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Based on a True Story, this film starred Daniel Day-Lewis, Pete Postlethwaite and Emma Thompson. Released in 1993, In the Name of the Father chronicles the ordeal of the Guildford Four, a group of young Irishmen Wrongly Accused of bombing two soldiers' pubs in Guildford, England in 1974. At the height of The Troubles, all four were involved with drugs and petty crime, a profile the British police (wrongly) believed fit IRA terrorists. In fact Gerry Conlon (Day-Lewis) left England to get away from the IRA who had threatened him for committing theft. After the bombing, police acted on a tip, arresting the four (and later Conlon family members, including Gerry Conlon's father Giuseppe). Coerced into falsely confessing by the police, the Four were convicted by this along with junk science at trial, and received life sentences. |
