John Simpson

The Revolutionary Youth John Simpson

Individual lives and history collide. Tommy is a catholic teenager living in the protestant half of Belfast. In the 1960's not a problem, but in the 1970's all hell breaks loose. Revolutionary upheaval degenerates into tribal violence - some choose to get involved, others have no choice. Childhood friends become enemies and families are uprooted. Tommy decides to take matters into his own hands. But there are consequences - there are always consequences - and the boy becomes a man long before his time.
