“Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland” is a 2022 documentary film directed by Patrick Radden Keefe. The film explores the 1972 abduction and murder of Jean McConville, a widowed mother of 10, by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). McConville’s body was not found until 2003, and her murder remains unsolved.
The film draws on interviews with McConville’s family, former IRA members, and journalists to piece together the events leading up to her murder. It also examines the wider context of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and the role of the IRA in the conflict.
