Lyra

About

Directed by BAFTA-winning Alison Millar and executively produced by Hillary Rodham Clinton's HiddenLight Productions, LYRA is a beautiful and heartfelt film about the life and death of the internationally renowned Northern Irish investigative journalist Lyra McKee.

Raised in working-class, war-torn Belfast Lyra went on to highlight the consequences of the Troubles, seeking justice for crimes that had been forgotten since the Good Friday Agreement. Her murder by dissident Republicans the day before Good Friday in 2019 sent shockwaves across the world.

Using hours of voice recordings from Lyra's own mobile, computer and Dictaphone the documentary, which won the Audience Award at the Cork Film Festival, seeks answers to her senseless killing through Lyra's own work and words. The result is a complex picture of Northern Ireland's political history, bringing into sharp focus the ways in which the 1998 Good Friday agreement – with its promised end to violence for future generations – has struggled to be fully realised.
