It took a long time, but in the end Gerry Conlon was, as he said on his death bed, ready to meet his father because he had finally forgiven himself.

The questions contained in this verse are such as compelled Agur to acknowledge his ignorance and nothingness before the thought of the glory and power of the great Creator.I would have settled for six months, enough time to say goodbye to everyone, but now it's kick the bucket time. this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Her son Billy, a keen traveler and thrill seeker was on holiday in Cape Maclear at Lake Malawi, when he died in an evening swimming accident.

Not the stuff of the Hollywood movie In The Name Of The Father, directed by Jim Sheridan in 1994, in which Conlon was portrayed by the charismatic chameleon of the big screen Daniel Day-Lewis.

The documentary captures the essence of Mags's journey and how she has transformed the lives of many people in Malawi through her relentless efforts. O Rawe is a former Irish republican prisoner and was a leading figure in the 1981 Hunger Strike in the H Blocks of the Maze prison.

But he also gently reminds us that while some to this day still view him as perpetrator rather a victim because of this human weakness, Gerry Conlon was in fact the first casualty of his own signature.A great reflection on PTSD, prisoner rights, Hollywood stories, tales of the Pogues, crack addiction, forgiveness, redemption , aboriginal rights, family and friends.

Yet within five years he was hooked on crack cocaine and eating out of bins in the backstreets of London.
