Computer Files, Websites
Brendan Behan's famous memoir about his troubled youth formed the basis of this drama. Brendan is a 16-year-old boy from Ireland who loathes the British and is eager to do something about it. Brendan sails into Liverpool, but is discovered to be carrying the makings of a bomb; he's soon placed under arrest and thrown into a borstal (British reform school), where he finds himself surrounded by a collection of tough-as-nails English delinquents. Nominated for Outstanding Film at the **GLAAD Media Awards**. Nominated for Best Feature Film at the **Irish Film and Television Awards**. *"The inherent strength of the material as well as the integrity of the filmmakers gives this coming-of-age story restraint as well as warmth." - Kenneth Turan, **The Los Angeles Times***
