"This extraordinary and moving documentary reviews ten years of armed warfare by the IRA and places today's headlines in their proper political and economic context. Through vivid footage of street battles and interviews with participants, THE PATRIOT GAME forcefully debunks the twin myths that the IRA is a 'terrorist organization' fighting 'a religious war.'" - Kevin J. Kelley, The Guardian
Rich in emotional images, often tender but more often terrifying, THE PATRIOT GAME tells the story of the long and bitter battle for Northern Ireland.
The film's introduction covers Ireland's history from British colonization to the territory's division in 1922. THE PATRIOT GAME then details the events of the decade that began in 1968. Through powerful portraits of rebellion and eyewitness accounts of killings and such massacres as the infamous "Bloody Sunday," the film shows the IRA at work - much of it filmed clandestinely - as they argue their cause which, in this country and in most of the world, has gone unheard.

And who do you think then are "the most trained army in the world" The FARC train in their sleep. The whole plastic Israeli state are soldiers, or going to be, from birth to death. The US Train a lot using the Brits as target practice.he he. So tell us, who do you think are the "most trained army in the world"?
@ModernOmen Well done. You've parroted the same bollox lie loyalists have been regurgitating since before the IRA reformed as a force in '69 from what was essentially a republican socialist rotary club who, had they taken their noses out of their books long enough to see the writing on the wall, might have done something about the UVF, going around bombing things and blaming the IRA to give credibility to their sick ethnic cleansing policy - a policy endorsed by their political fuhrers.
Had they taken the war to the UVF, they could have snuffed them out at the beginning but they did not believe that they were under threat from the loyalists. They thought the protestant working class would not have learned from the history of 30 years before when the same language was being used by European fascists. Basil Brooke at a dinner in Stormont in '33, "Some people have told me that we need fascism. We have the Orange order. We have the B-Specials. What need have we of fascism?"
How wrong they were. How wrong most of the protestant community were. How right Basil Brook was. There are even today still those that deny the holocaust. What is more incredible, is the amount of those who deny their own hand in the six counties history. It is you and the unionist community that will; be judged harshly by history. I will rest peacefully with my only question being, Could I have done more to support the greater Republican Movement?
UFF essentially wiped out the IRA u prick... so stop talking ballocks..orange order is hardly facist either... apart frum the fact that u probably know nothing of what it stands for or what its aims are..then u know nothing.. GAA ..now thers a cancer in our side.. hahaha
