Release (2013)

Everyone has a past, but should they be defined by it? The legacy of the conflict in Northern Ireland weighs heavily on those who experienced it. The pain and loss is as relevant today as it was 30 years ago. The act of remembering itself can be a difficult and dangerous journey. RELEASE documents the life stories of six remarkable men who each played a different role in 'The Troubles'. Based on an original Theatre of Witness production of the same name, each man's individual journey is told in their own words and in their own way. Their collective journey is at times heart-breaking, extraordinary, breathtaking brave but ultimately transformational. It is a story of survival, forgiveness and redemption in the search for RELEASE.
