DVD Details
You can't choose your family. Starring Brendan Gleeson (The Guard, In Bruges, Harry Potter), Michael Angarano (Red State, Haywire) and Melissa Leo (The Fighter, Frozen River, Treme), the compelling drama Black Irish is released on DVD by High Fliers on 29th October 2012.
Sixteen-year-old Cole's (Michael Angarano) struggle for independence is put to the test as his family implodes around him. Older brother Terry (Tom Guiry) is descending into a life of drugs and crime and his father, Desmond, (Brendan Gleeson) spends his days in a fog of alcohol and self-pity.
The one thing keeping young Cole's head above water is his love of sport. A talented athlete, Cole must overcome self-doubt and family indifference in order to get into the state championships, but to get there he must make a life and death decision that will change his family forever.
