  • Fractured City charts the story of two friends, Paul and Seamy, growing up in Belfast during a period of political turmoil. Belfast in the 1990’s could have been mistaken for any other city but the legacy of war ensured otherwise. The new dance culture was kicking in and the raves were doing something that no one had seen before - getting people together. But the drugs that came with it were always going to be a problem. Some groups were selling it, and some were killing you for selling it.
    After attending a nightclub, the lives of both young men change forever after an unfortunate encounter with a leading paramilitary. The gravity of the situation becomes apparent as the boys are caught between the grip of conflicting political ideologies and a police force interested in only one thing - recruiting informants.
    A big thank you to David Holmes

    Brilliant, I always felt this side of the 90's was a wee bit ignored. This is powerful stuff.

    Good movie. Very well made and it seems realistic to me, although I don't know much about Belfast so I cant really judge. The only thing is that they do not articulate very will. I mean it makes sense the they don't have standard English accents, it is not London. Only for my nonnative speaker ears it is very difficult to understand. So proper subtitles would allow more viewers to follow the story. And I agree with Robbie, it deserves many more views.
