15 certification
NEW FEATURES / UK PREMIERE
Director: Mark Mahon. Starring: Michael Madsen, Vinnie Jones, Patrick Bergin, Richard Chamberlain.
Ireland, 2007. 90 mins. English.
STRENGTH AND HONOUR is a story of hope and love, sacrifice and devotion, set against the violent underground world of bare-knuckle boxing. It tells the story of an Irish-American boxer, Sean Kelleher (Michael Madsen), who accidentally kills his friend in the ring and promises his dying wife that he will never box again. However, years later, when he discovers that his only son is dying of the same hereditary heart disorder that took his wife, he is forced to break his promise to raise money for life-saving surgery. Starring Michael Madsen, Vinnie Jones, Patrick Bergin and Richard Chamberlain, screenwriter Mark Mahon’s directorial debut has already attracted a host of accolades, including Best Film and Best Actor at the Boston Film Festival.

* We are delighted to welcome director Mark Mahon and members of the cast to this screening.
