No Stone Unturned

PG 7.2
2017 1 hr 51 min Documentary

Ireland's victory over Italy at the World Cup in New Jersey in 1994, remains a source of Irish pride. But it is haunted by memories of a massacre: terrorists opened fire and killed six innocents while they watched the match in a small village pub in Northern Ireland. Remarkably, no one was ever charged for the crime. For more than twenty years the victims' families have searched for answers. Now, at last, they may have found them. But what they learn turns a murder mystery into bigger inquiry relevant for us all: what happens when governments cover up the truth?

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Very detailed account, but very much shown from the Republican view of the crime, with the "witnesses" all blaming the British Government, the Police and the British Army.I would live to see this director give the same treatment to a Republican atrocity, as this documentary very much blames the troubles on the British, the Police and the Army and not the IRAAnyone who knows anything about the Troubles, will remember that the Republican IRA carried out more attacks than the others terrorist organisations put together. Actual details below, not shown in this documentary! Organisation - Total Killings - Protestant - Catholic - Others IRA - 1696 (49%) - 790 - 338 - 568 UVF - 396 (11%) - 89 - 265 - 42 British Army - 299 (9%) - 32 - 258 - 9 Unknown loyalist - 212 (6%) - 50 - 212 - 7 UFF- 149 (4%) - 17 - 132 - 0 INLA - 110 (3%) - 55 - 33 - 22 UDA - 102 (3%) - 41 - 58 - 3 RUC - 56 - 9 - 44 - 3 Official IRA - 51 - 7 - 24 - 20 PAF (loyalist) - 37 - 0 - 37 - 0 'Real' IRA - 29 - 11 - 13 - 5 (others) - 117 - 27 - 87 - 3

This documentary is a fine example of how to approach such a serious subject matter. Alex Gibney was masterful in the way he dealt with these families...such tenderness and heartfelt sympathy. Yet he dove in headfirst on his path to find the truth. I will be on the lookout for more from Mr. Gibney. God bless these souls and bring peace to their hearts and minds. Z3

"Anyone born and bred in Northern Ireland can't be too optimistic." Seamus Heaney At times the civil war in Northern Ireland reaching some sort of apex or denouement in the '90's made me aware of how bloody and divisive ours must have been in the 1860's. Alex Gibney's documentary, No Stone Unturned, investigates the mass murder of six Irishmen in a pub as they watched the World Cup in 1994. It's not pretty, and it's still not solved.Gibney's photography and portraits are first rate, another Errol Morris in the making, as he places us in a small town seemingly remote from the IRA bombings and the intense protectionism of those loyal to Great Britain, occupying Northern Ireland with an iron grip. Some shots are bloody bodies being carried away from a bombing, some are ironic (small kids looking at a crouching soldier from around a corner), but all are made more horrible from the endless battle with no end. The re-creation of the murder in the pub is gladly elliptical but memorable enough for the director to return to its images several times. The invasion into the pub feels like a home invasion, and maybe it is because the Irish team is about to win the cup.Cutting away consistently between emotion-laden testimony to the consistently-blocked investigation, Gibney confuses more than clarifies, and even in the final report is unable to cast the murderers other than lucky to have a colluded circumstance that the police will not set straight because they are part of the cover up.Seeing this expert but flawed doc will bring back the horror of the conflict in Northern Ireland, its inscrutability, and the dedication of the Irish commoners to make peace. I don't know why I demand clarity when chaos rules. That Gibney got right.

A very brave, must-see documentary about state murders in the North of Ireland carried out by the British Army and loyalist police force RUC now renamed the PSNI, on Irish Catholics. Heartbreaking. We rarely see a documentary as brave as this and should be compulsive viewing to all those who wish a deeper understanding into the war in the North of Ireland. Powerful.
