The haunted face of Father Reid as he delivered the Last Rites became symbolic of the thirty-year-long conflict. But unknown to most, the photograph also captured a secret peacemaker at work. In Fr Reid's jacket pocket were the first documents of a fledgling plan that would help end The Troubles. Based on interviews recorded before his death ten years ago, the film charts his ambitious and perilous peace mission to stop the killing. Contributors include peacemakers Rev Harold Good and Rev Ken Newell, former Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams, former SDLP MLA Bríd Rodgers, UUP's Mike Nesbitt and Ian Jeffers, the Commissioner for Victims and Survivors, and journalists Tim Pat Coogan, Brendan O'Brien and Mark Devenport.
