The role of filmmaking has never been as important to victims with the passing of this Bill of Shame. We will continue to lift those stones and challenge those that wish to bury their dirty secrets of the past.

That’s me in the photo. He wasn’t cowering, in fact he was protecting me from the grenades and shots that were behind his back. Happy to clear that up for you
I now have evidence of two other very prominent journalists who have been involved in a smear campaign against my character and the integrity of my work. This is a coordinated campaign that has far reaching implications of McCarthyite proportions.
It has been 42 hours since the broadcast of Unquiet Graves and still a virtual media black out since. What will it take to have their voices heard?
#UnquietGraves
Everyone switch on to Al Jazeera right now. This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen.
IOF is attacking mourners carrying Shireen’s body from the hospital right now. They’re using stun grenades and tear gas and charging at them with horses and batons.
This is pastor Barrie Halliday only this week calling for the slaughter of children. He describes catholics as ‘rats that need to be murdered with rifles and grenades’. He has close ties to a number of unionist politicians and an old friend of Willie Frazier
I think we’ve heard enough. Time to start revoking licenses. Those aspiring to reunify this country by peaceful means will not be intimidated by drug dealing sectarian thugs and their enabling politicians
I’ve been working on follow up script to Unquiet Graves for two years now and today we got some great news. Filming will begin imminently. Another damning indictment of British state murder that will shock and disturb the international community
Tell me again, what does it mean when members of the press are being violently tackled to the ground and arrested for the crime of *checks notes* filming and reporting on a protest?
My response to Eoghan Harris’s article in the Sunday Independent. These are the same slurs that are being spread verbatim by right-wing media both north and south. Now let’s talk about the content in the film, I’ll be here waiting for the same journalists to come forward
Bombarded twice in Gaza, 4-year-old Ahmed lost his parents in the first then his legs in the second attack - Reuters.
The boy keeps asking for his parents, and he wants to get up and walk, but his parents are dead and his legs have been amputated.
Now that we’ve an unprecedented media outcry against the young female Irish football team, can that same spotlight be shone on the imperial trappings and rampant sectarianism within unionism towards its nationalist neighbours? 1/
The death&destruction caused by Hamas in both Israel & Gaza is appalling. No Israeli or Palestinian lives wld have been lost if not for Hamas’s pogrom of 7Oct,its continuing rocket fire (9,000 so far),promise of more pogroms & kidnappings.Protests shd target Hamas not Israel
@Translink_NI
Your bus driver at 1.53pm shouted out of the bus to ‘bomb Palestinians’ as he drove passed Belfast City Hall. All this while driving with one hand and brandishing an ‘Israeli’ badge.

What if I was to tell you that a unionist newspaper is lobbying a broadcaster in order to scupper the screening of Unquiet Graves, a film detailing the state murder of innocents. Can these tabloid cowboys go any lower? The families have come too far, you will fail miserably

I want to thank my legal team for once again defending my reputation as a filmmaker. Happy that this has been brought to an end and I can move on in carrying out my work without distraction.
I’d like to take this opportunity to send a big thank you to all those who offered their condolences after the passing of Marie in March. The love shown from right across the political divide was very humbling. She touched so many lives and will be forever loved ❤️

I strongly condemn the firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas and attacks against Israel from Gaza. I deeply regret the loss of life and the impact on civilians. I call for an immediate cessation of all hostilities.
Almost 4 years after the release of Unquiet Graves there’s some who still think I’m fair game. Yet neither

An image of me and a few others watching the World Cup, Mexico 86 🇲🇽 in Bantry St, Clonard. The WiFi wasn’t working too well so had to move the TV out into the street
Loyalist attacks at Lanark Way must be viewed in the context of 1969. An attempt was made to burn the Clonard area to the ground by loyalist mobs only to be defended by young republicans. This ignited the flames of the ‘troubles’. We won’t allow history to repeat itself 1/2

For those interested in the photo and photographer who shot the image, here's a piece in a New Zealand newspaper from the actual photographer that also debunks the lies perpetuated around it
I will run a free course for young working class loyalists/unionists. I’ll supply equipment and they can make whatever short documentary that best conveys their culture/concerns/anxieties. A blank script with no constraints. Genuinely. DM if interested
Question:
Why aren’t we seeing young Loyalists/Unionist engaging with the arts? This is putting them at a disadvantage. There are many talented youngsters out there. For me, film offers an understanding of the human condition like no other. 1/2
This is so much more than questioning the veracity of Unquiet Graves. It’s an attack on victims, it’s about censoring and marginalising the arts. It’s Section 31 on steroids
Significant rumours that Victoria Park in East Belfast is to used to have a GAA pitch to be imposed upon the community.
This is an outrageous proposal & entirely unwelcome. The vast majority of the local community do not want the toxic GAA imposed within unionist areas.
What’s increasingly disturbing about the explicit nature of unionism’s innate sectarianism isn’t the dog whistles and implicit threats. It’s that it’s sanitised. These figures are platformed by the media rather than being called out for inciting hatred against catholics 1/2
The disparity in media reports into both Garda Horkan’s and Bobby Storey’s funerals is a masterclass on how the media functions for the political status quo. How they long for the days of Section 31 and the Broadcast Ban. Real censorship.

It's now time to go after Special Branch and their masters. They've never been held to account for the countless murder of innocents. The magnitude of this report, even after everything we already know, is dumbfounding.
A shocking Police Ombudsman's report. Eight members of the South Belfast UDA, all RUC informers, linked to 27 murders & attempted murders right up until 1998. There must be accountability & answers from the state for so horrifically failing its own citizens.
Ken Loach is only controversial if you agree with the inhumane repression of the Palestinians, he’s only controversial if you’re ok with poverty.

Dear Sam
Thank you for your polemic followed by your few questions.
May I ask firstly….
BREAKING: 🇺🇲 Harvard campus now is taken over by anti-israeli genocide protestors with tents!
Students in the United States can no longer watch the government shamelessly support and arm Israel and Netanyahu, who commits genocide against children, in front of the entire world.
Some serious rethinking to be done within unionism. It’s time to find a settlement and accommodation for all of us. The supremacy is over and it ain’t coming back
I’m in talks about presenting a weekly tv show that will be streamed internationally on Irish political and cultural affairs, both detailing current and historical issues. What would you like to see discussed and who would you like to see on the show?
