The Hardest Bridge is a new documentary sharing the unique story of Jo Berry and Pat Magee, this is the trailer and the whole film will soon be released.
It is directed by Dr Imad Karam, award-winning British-Palestinian film maker, who was brought up in Gaza city. Dr Karam made this film to bring Jo and Pat’s highly personal story of forgiveness to the world. “This film gives a profound insight into a shared journey of forgiveness and transformation which is so relevant for the divided world we live in today.
Can the wounds of war heal? Can enemies reconcile? ‘The Hardest Bridge ’ (45 mins) focuses those questions through the insights of two remarkable individuals: Jo Berry and Pat Magee. As a fighter with the Irish Republican Army, Pat Magee planted a bomb in the Grand Hotel, Brighton, which killed five people including Sir Anthony Berry MP, father of Jo Berry. Magee was arrested and imprisoned but released under the Good Friday Agreement. Jo went to meet him. Ever since they have been on a transformative journey which has taken them to situations of tension and conflict in many countries.
