In the Name of the Father

I watched the movie again last weekend. I watched it because I vaguely remembered that I liked it when it first came out, not really remembering the details of the movie.

If you don't really remember, you should watch it again, as it is very relevant to today.

Basically, the British government, in reaction to a wave of terrorist bombings, seized two Belfast youths living in London, tortured them to get confessions, and then faked forensic evidence to "prove" that an entire cell of terrorists was posing as a perfectly respectable middle-class family living in Ireland and England.

For some reason, I can't help but take the recent allegations against the alleged doctor-terrorists with a giant grain of salt.
