The Outsider
Directed by Tony Luraschi, Written by Tony Luraschi, Produced by Philippe Modave
Disillusioned after service in Vietnam, a young Irish-American goes to Ireland and offers his services to the Provisional IRA, having been inspired by his grandfather’s stories of heroism. However when he arrives, he is greeted not by a cause worth dying for, but even more moral uncertainty. Both the IRA and the British Army try to use him for their own ends.
