Synopsis

On the day before Mother's Day in 1993, Colin and Wendy Parry's lives are shattered when their youngest son, Tim, is killed in a terrorist attack carried out by the IRA in Warrington town centre. The incident shocks people across communities on both sides of the Irish Sea. Sue McHugh, a modest and typically reserved housewife from Dublin, is profoundly moved by the tragedy. Motivated by the events in Warrington and driven by a desire to make a positive impact, Sue encourages people throughout Ireland to take action, urging an end to the violence on all sides. However, Sue may have underestimated the difficulty of fostering peace in a community long accustomed to conflict. As the grieving Parrys seek answers to their son's senseless death, they join forces with Sue, her husband Arthur, and the Peace '93 movement, making a journey to Dublin in an effort to promote peace and ensure that Tim's legacy is one of hope and tolerance. The story is based on real events.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
