Synopsis
The Journey (2017) is a British political drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Nick Hamm. The year is 2006, and Democratic Unionist leader Ian Paisley and Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness are stuck sharing a car to the airport during the St Andrews negotiations. Nobody knows what they said to each other. This film imagines it.
Timothy Spall and Colm Meaney play the two men across ninety-four minutes of close quarters and loaded silence; Freddie Highmore is the MI5 operative keeping watch from the driver's seat. John Hurt appears in one of his last screen performances. The actual outcome is public record: within a year, Paisley and McGuinness were jointly leading Northern Ireland. The film asks how the ground shifted.
