Borstal Boy

A biopic of the period in 1941 during which Irish writer Brendan Behan spent in juvenile prison in England after being arrested while on a bombing mission from Ireland to Liverpool. In prison, Behan is forced to live face-to-face with those he perceived as “the enemy,” a confrontation that reveals a deep inner conflict in the young Brendan and forces a self-examination that is both traumatic and revealing.
