IFI DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL 2025: GERRY ADAMS: A BALLYMURPHY MAN + Q&A

Director:

Trisha Ziff, 117 mins, Ireland & Mexico, 2025, Digital

Gerry Adams first met Englishwoman Trisha Ziff, a community activist and founder of the “Camerawork Derry” workshop, at the height of the Northern Ireland conflict in 1981, remaining in contact for over forty years. This film weaves together interviews recorded over 5 years with layers of photographs and moving images, many not seen before. Hear Adams’ uncensored perspectives on the conflict, a life spanning war and transition to peace, and an ongoing campaign towards Irish unity.

Followed by a Q&A with Trisha Ziff and Gerry Adams, hosted by Betty Purcell.
