“In Conversation With…” is our latest series of events here at the Duncairn in which our good friend Professor Phil Scraton will host in-depth conversations with some inspirational people that we really admire. With 2 successful events already under our belt featuring Maxine Peake and Bernadette McAliskey, we welcome Jimmy McGovern.
Jimmy McGovern
‘Jimmy McGovern is a Liverpool writer and producer whose films and television series have won multi awards including 5 BAFTAs and 3 Prix Europa. They include Hillsborough; Cracker; The Street; Dockers; Accused; Time; Care; Hearts and Minds; and Common. His film Sunday focused on the circumstances and aftermath of the 1972 killing of 14 peaceful civil rights marchers in Derry by soldiers of the Parachute Regiment who opened fire without provocation. Emmy nominated, it won the Prix Italia.
His work has broken new ground in television drama and drama documentary, consistently confronting social, political and economic inequalities while demonstrating the compassion and resilience of daily life within disenfranchised communities.’
