Documentary 'Anatomy of a Massacre' to screen at An Táin Arts Centre

Documentary captures the 50-year struggle of bereaved families

From the award winning filmmakers of 406 Days – The Debenhams Picket Line comes the story of the Dublin Monaghan Bombings: May-17-74 Anatomy of a Massacre, screening at An Táin Arts Centre, Saturday 29th June at 8pm.

On the 17th May 1974 three no warning car bombs detonated in Dublin City Centre within three minutes of each other killing 27 people. Later that evening a no warning car bomb in Monaghan Town killed 7 more innocent people; in total 34 people died that summers day.

The Dublin Monaghan Bombings resulted in the greatest loss of life in any single day of the Troubles.

Supported by Justice for the Forgotten, founded in 1996 to act collectively in pursuing these facts and other relevant evidence with the aim of finally establishing the truth about what happened on 17th May 1974, this human interest feature length documentary captures the 50-year struggle of bereaved families and survivors seeking truth and justice.

Having sold out multiple screenings in Dublin, Monaghan, and Derry, this is a must-see for anyone interested in Irish history.
May-17-74 Anatomy of a Massacre comes to An Táin Arts Centre on Saturday 29th June at 8pm.

Tickets are €8.50 (plus €1.50 booking fee per ticket) and can be purchased from An Táin Arts Centre’s Box Office on Crowe Street, over the phone on 042 9332332 or online at www.antain.ie
