FX's 'Say Nothing' Explores the Complexities of The Troubles

The new series delves into the historical conflict in Northern Ireland, focusing on personal stories and moral ambiguities.

The series is based on Patrick Radden Keefe's 2018 bestselling book about The Troubles in Northern Ireland, a conflict lasting from the late 1960s to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.
Central to the story is the 1972 disappearance and murder of Jean McConville, a widow and mother of ten, allegedly killed by the IRA for being an informant.
Dolours Price, a former IRA member, provides crucial insights into McConville's murder and the broader conflict, despite Gerry Adams' denials of involvement.
The show highlights the tension between youthful idealism and the burdens of guilt and doubt that follow, as illustrated through the character of Dolours Price.
Critically acclaimed for its authenticity and depth, 'Say Nothing' avoids simple hero-villain narratives, instead presenting a nuanced view of historical and personal struggles.
