Plots(1)
In the mid-1990s, Dublin was nothing short of a war zone, with a few powerful drug lords battling for control. Their most fearsome opponent was not the police but the courageous journalist Veronica Guerin (Cate Blanchett), who investigated and exposed the notorious criminals with unmatched intensity. Balancing her home life with her responsibility to her readers and country, Veronica became a national hero to the people of Ireland, which was only solidified with her brutal murder in 1996. Based on a true story, this powerful, emotional film, from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Joel Schumacher, gives unique insight into a fascinating and complex aspect of the Irish conflict and a poignant portrayal of a journalist who risked everything in search of the truth.
