If ever there was a film that should be witnessed by the masses, this is it. The remarkable true life story of Brian Keenan & John McCarthy, who in the mid 1980's were kidnapped by Muslim fundamentalists. We just watch the friendship that forms between these two men in isolation, from the first awkward moments to some profoundly funny times when laughter and the strength of courage and dignity come to the forefront.
I had the pleasure of watching a screening a few nights ago where John McCarthy, John Furse (director) and Ian Hart (Brian Keenan) were present. After speaking to them all they came across and very easy to talk to, no airs and graces - just three normal people who played their own parts in this remarkable story.
If you ever feel your life is bad and you have problems, just watch this film and you will realize that our own problems become insignificant to the problems of - will i ever get home? Will i be killed? Why do i get chained up like an animal or completely wrapped in tape with only a small hole for breathing?
All things which these 2 amazing people had to contend with, as well as constant self analysis.
Great film - Watch it!!
