Blind Flight
The true account of the kidnapping of Brian Keenan and his subsequent captivity with John McCarthy in Lebanon in 1986. The men spent four and a half years together, confined underground for much of the time and often chained to the wall of their cell. The two men, pawns in a game of international politics, were utterly different in personality, physical appearance and background. The bullish working-class Irishman Keenan, who went to Lebanon as a teacher to escape Belfast, and his youthful English cellmate, the handsome, charming, upper-class McCarthy, a journalist ironically reporting on Keenan's own captivity, could easily have found each other at opposite ends of a gun barrel in the strife-torn streets of Keenan's Belfast. Instead, in the face of the most acute deprivation and under the constant threat of death at the hands of their captors, they forged a relationship which transcends all that appeared to divide them.
