When the price of standing up for a core principle is certain death - what would you do?​

Corktown ’39 is a political thriller about a little known Irish Republican Army (IRA) plot to assassinate the king of England, and the tragic romance between the assassin and the woman in whose home he is being sheltered.

Inspired by true events.
