Part 2

After running jail breaks and bank robberies, Brendan Hughes falls out with the IRA. Condemned to death but sent to prison, he begins to question the use of violence.

In part two of the real-life account of IRA member Brendan Hughes, he describes the events that led him to break with the IRA and end up on the run from the police, the army and IRA gunmen. After spending long spells in prison, he began to question the use of violence and now calls for a forum to hear the truth about the Northern Ireland Troubles, in which more than 3,500 people were killed.
