 LORD HAW HAW
On a bitterly cold morning in January 1946, an Irishman whose voice was as well known as Churchill’s, was hanged in England’s grim Wandsworth gaol.

Lord Haw-Haw was the classic traitor. Broadcasting to millions from Nazi Germany, he played a part in sapping the collective spirit of wartime Britain.


A grotesque figure - laughed at but secretly feared - his psychological defiance was mythologised by prolonged wartime anxiety.

Lord Haw-Haw: Portrait of a Fanatic is a 54-minute documentary by noted British feature film director, Brian Gilbert (Wilde, Tom and Viv, Not Without My Daughter).

 BANG YOU’RE DEAD
A documentary that tells the story of Tom Pey, a partner in a booming investment consultancy whose life was turned upside down by the news from a specialist in an American hospital. He would go blind - virtually overnight - as the freak legacy of a childhood accident three decades earlier when he was playing cowboys in a County Offaly orchard. Shattered by the news, he took what he later acknowledged as the worst decision of his life.

He made desperate attempts to conceal his situation from family, friends and colleagues. His attempts to mask his disability triggered a slow descent into depression, alcoholism and disintegration.

But Tom Pey confronted his demons and, in a triumph of the human spirit over adversity, rehabilitated himself and is now once again applying his formidable financial and strategic skills - this time as a leading human rights advocate for blind people in the UK and worldwide.

The film received an Irish Film & Television Award nomination for best documentary in 2003.
