Behind The Scenes
A behind-the-scenes look at how investigative journalists in Northern Ireland track down stories, uncover secret papers and persuade people to speak out.
This film shows how the critically acclaimed television series Spotlight on the Troubles: A Secret History was made. Reporters, producers 鈥� even the bosses 鈥� were filmed over two years as they uncovered incredible new stories about the past. How did Jennifer O'Leary persuade a former missionary priest to reveal his role in smuggling money and weapons to the IRA? How did Darragh Macintyre find out the British and American intelligence connections to a long-hidden documentary about a senior IRA man? And how did Mandy McAuley discover that a church charity worker was actually a suspect in a series of murders across Mid Ulster?
