De Engelse Carrie Jade Williams was begin dertig toen ze contact opnam met de Ierse publieke omroep RTÉ omdat ze graag wilde vertellen over de dodelijke ziekte die haar had getroffen. Ze werd gevolgd voor een documentaire, maar gaandeweg begon er iets te knagen: wie was deze jonge vrouw die haar tragische lot zo moedig leek te dragen? Carrie’s beerput bleek zo overvol te zitten dat er een hele serie aan haar en haar leugens werd gewijd. Een even verbijsterend als verdrietig levensverhaal dat met mededogen wordt verteld.
A daring, pioneering and dangerous chapter in Irish life began in the summer of 1972 when Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi made an approach to the Provisional IRA with an offer of arms. Months later, this secret shipment of weapons landed into Ireland. All these years later, this untold tale is finally revealed by those centrally involved… // Previous series from DocOnOne include The Real Carrie Jade, Runaway Joe, Finding Samantha, GunPlot, Tiger Roll and The Nobody Zone.

Fermanagh. Credits: Narrated by Liam O’Brien and Conor Keane. Produced by Liam O’Brien.
