We Had Each Other

About This Movie

We Had Each Other dives deep into the grit and determination of a group of Irish women political prisoners who took a stand in Armagh Jail during the 1980s. It’s raw, unfiltered, and really shows the intensity of the no-wash protest they endured for a whole year. You get a palpable sense of their desperation and resilience as they faced dehumanizing treatment from the British government. The atmosphere is heavy, capturing the weight of their struggle, yet there’s an undeniable strength in their unity. The pacing is steady—sometimes slow, but that just adds to the tension. While we don't have a name for the director, the storytelling feels personal and intimate, almost like you’re there with them, witnessing this significant piece of history unfold.
