Five Minutes of Heaven
From the Oscar-nominated director of "Downfall" and the BAFTA-winning screenwriter of "Omagh" comes a startling drama inspired by true events: In 1975, 17-year-old Irish-Protestant Alistair Little assassinated 19-year-old Catholic Jim Griffin in his Ulster home. The murder was witnessed by Griffin's 11-year-old brother Joe. Thirty years later, Little (Liam Neeson) has been rehabilitated and released from prison, while Joe Griffin (James Nesbitt) remains traumatised and bitter. But when a television talk show decides to bring them together for a live on-air reconciliation, two men haunted by one moment must come face-to-face with their own worlds of pain, violence and vengeance.
