On the night of Saturday 14 May 1977, a British soldier, Captain Robert Nairac, walked into a crowded bar near the Irish border. He was undercover, dressed in a donkey jacket and jeans, hoping for a breakthrough in the intelligence war against the IRA. With unique archive footage, exclusive interviews, cinematic landscapes and a haunting soundtrack, the film - made by the Bafta-winning team of director Alison Millar and journalist Darragh MacIntyre – details the story of McAllister’s obsessional search for Captain Nairac. It reveals how the life and death of this unconventional and complex British soldier echoes the often violent and always tangled history of relations between the UK and Ireland.
