“I would die for a united Ireland.” FX on Hulu has revealed the full trailer for a series called Say Nothing, set in Belfast during the infamous The Troubles period. This historical drama limited series is created by Josh Zetumer for Disney+ and it’s produced by FX Productions. Strangely not an Irish production and not really made for either Irish or UK audiences despite being about what happened over there. Detailing four generations in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, it is an adaptation of the book Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe.

Just to say that a divided nation is bad. The series follows the lives of people growing up in Belfast in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Starring Lola Petticrew, Hazel Doupe, Anthony Boyle, Josh Finan, & Maxine Peake. For another great film about Belfast, Ireland watch Kneecap also from this year. // Continue Reading ›
