BLIND FLIGHT [4443]

Brian Keenan and John McCarthy spent four and a half years confined together, held underground for much of their captivity, at times chained to each other and to the walls of their prisons. The two men, who could have easily found themselves at opposite ends of a gun barrel in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, instead forged a relationship which transcended all that appeared to divide them. Blind Flight tells the compelling story of this extraordinary relationship as they both resurrect their deepest memories, feelings, fears and loves.
