They'll Never Show That

About This Movie

They'll Never Show That is a gritty dive into the troubling world of investigative journalism in Ireland. With Joe MacAnthony at the helm, the film sheds light on the rampant corruption in Dublin's planning processes long before it was mainstream to do so. You get this palpable sense of tension and urgency as MacAnthony navigates a landscape filled with pushback and conspiracies. The pacing feels intentionally uneven—reflecting the frustration of the subject matter. It’s raw, almost documentary-like in its approach, which makes you feel each setback personally. The performances capture a kind of desperation and determination that’s hard to shake off. It’s a unique window into a time and a fight many might not even know about.

This film has a limited presence in collector circuits, as it often slips under the radar of more mainstream titles. Early screenings were scarce and most copies are still circulating in underground channels, which adds an allure for collectors. The raw and unfiltered nature of the film makes it a curious piece that offers insight into both the era and the journalism landscape of Ireland, drawing interest from those who appreciate nuanced narratives. If you're into films that challenge the status quo, this one's definitely noteworthy.
