Synopsis
Veronica Guerin (2003) is a crime thriller directed by Joel Schumacher that you can watch online on iFILM. Cate Blanchett plays the real Irish investigative journalist who, through the mid-1990s, traced Dublin's drug trade from street-level addicts all the way up to the men running it — at a time when official Ireland preferred not to look.
The closer Guerin got to the top, the more direct the warnings became. A shot through her front door. A beating at home. A bullet in her leg, delivered on behalf of John Gilligan, the cartel boss she had the nerve to name in print. Ciarán Hinds and Gerard McSorley give shape to the men who saw her only as a problem. Each threat made the story bigger, not smaller.
She was shot dead in her car on a Dublin motorway in June 1996. The killing cracked open public opinion and pushed through anti-money-laundering laws that had stalled for years. Stream Veronica Guerin (2003) online on iFILM.
