Omagh

Omagh is a drama set in the Northern Ireland town of the title, opening with the August 1998 bombing carried out by the dissident republican group the Real IRA. The attack killed twenty-nine people in a busy shopping street and injured more than two hundred, making it the deadliest single incident of the Troubles. Michael Gallagher, whose son Aiden died in the blast, becomes a spokesman for the bereaved families and pushes for those behind the bombing to be held accountable. The film traces his campaign as the official investigation stalls and the families grow frustrated with the pace of the authorities' response.

The film, released in 2005, was directed by Pete Travis and written by Guy Hibbert and Paul Greengrass, who also produced alongside Ed Guiney and Don Mullan. Gerard McSorley plays Michael Gallagher, with Michèle Forbes as Patsy Gallagher, Brenda Fricker as Nuala O'Loan, Stuart Graham as Victor Barker and Brendan Coyle as Detective Sergeant John White. It was Travis's first feature, ahead of Vantage Point and Dredd.

On IMDb it holds 7.2 out of 10 from around 1,800 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 6.6 from a much smaller number of votes. A critics' rating of 8.3 from eight reviews places it noticeably above the audience scores.
