Fifty Dead Men Walking
When you cross the line there's no going back…
Inspired by the remarkable true story of the British undercover agent who successfully infiltrated the IRA; writer-director Kari Skogland's fact-based thriller takes its title from Martin McGartland's best selling novel.
Martin is a young lad from west Belfast in the late 1980s who is recruited by the British Police to spy on the IRA. He works his way up the ranks as a volunteer for the IRA whilst feeding information to his British handler and saving lives in the process.
