‘NORAID: Irish America and the IRA’ Review: A Slick, Polished and Absorbing Look at US Group Who Spread Provo Propaganda

NORTHERN IRELAND, JUL 09 – Trevor Birney’s film explores George Mitchell’s pivotal role in ending Northern Ireland’s Troubles and highlights American diplomatic influence in peace processes, 25 years after 1998.
