Anthony McIntyre - My life and the IRA

At 16 years-old he joined the Provisional IRA. By the age of 18, he’d carried out murder. Prominent Belfast-born republican Anthony McIntyre talks candidly about his life before and after joining the Irish Republican Army. From picking up a machine gun at the age of 14, to prison, the Blanket Protests and hungerstrikes, McIntyre speaks rawly about his own journey through the republican movement and overcoming the bigotry that consumed him during the dark period known as The Troubles. Now aged 64 and living outside of Northern Ireland, he reflects on the past and the ongoing Boston College tapes controversy that’s now synonymous with his name.
