About This Movie

So, '14 Days' is this documentary by Diarmuid Lavery that digs deep into a very specific time in March 1988 when everything in Northern Ireland seemed to spiral. The film captures the chaos and tragedy of the events that unfolded but it’s really centered around Fr. Alec Reid. His journey to seek peace amid all that violence sets a somber yet hopeful tone throughout. The pacing feels methodical, almost like you’re living through those days with him. It's not flashy or overly dramatized, which lends authenticity to the whole experience. The interviews and footage are raw, and you can feel the weight of the atmosphere. The real standout is how it explores themes of faith and humanity in the face of conflict. It’s definitely a film that gets you thinking, not just about the past but our present too.
