Based on a true story, Jimmy's Hall follows political activist Jimmy Gralton (Barry Ward) who organises classes and events to help his local community out of his town's dance hall in 1930's Ireland. Facing opposition from the Church, Gralton is soon branded a Communist and threatened with deportation. The movie teams The Wind That Shakes The Barley director Ken Loach up again with screen writer Paul Laverty, and they make good use of the Irish scenery (the movie was shot in Co. Leitrim and Co. Sligo) and the Irish talent, including Ward, Sherlock's Andrew Scott, and Father Ted's Jim Norton.
Released: 30th May (IRL/U.K.)
