On Thursday, October 30th at 8pm, a unique and interactive live event will be hosted by broadcaster Matt Cooper. The event, which marks the world premiere of the film, will see a satellite link-up to many cinemas nationwide with a post-screening panel discussion and Q&A live from Movies@Dundrum. Audiences across the country will be able to interact with the panel and pose questions through a special live Twitter feed which will be projected to each cinema.
Directed by Ian Power (The Runway) and starring Peter Coonan (Love/Hate), David Murray (Amber), Orla Fitzgerald (The Wind That Shakes The Barley), Morgan C. Jones (Vikings), and Gary Lydon (Calvary) the film recreates the drama surrounding the most significant political decision in modern Irish history; when the Irish government decided to guarantee the entire domestic banking system. It charts the origins of that pivotal decision and follows developments through the peak of the boom to the beginning of the bust.
