Mocked by her peers and threatened by those she tried to expose, Veronica Guerin’s story is one of hope and a strong desire to improve the world.
This movie based on the true story of a newspaper reporter in mid 1990’s Dublin, and follows the fleeting last moments of her life. From the moment she realizes that the drug culture is destroying her beautiful city, to her execution by the drug dealers.
Whilst this movie does deal with the dark side of life, Veronica’s story is one of a bright light that wanted to shine so that all could see the truth. As her articles and investigations got closer to the truth, Veronica and her family were threatened, and even shot at, but she didn’t back down. It only made her stronger and more determined.
The saddest thing about this movie, is that Veronica never lived to see the good her influence, and tragic death helped to achieve.
This is an emotional and inspiration movie, proving that with courage and dedication, one person can change the world for good.
This movie is rated R-13 for violence and bad language.

it may be sad that Veronica Guerin had to die in order to bring about the changes that were desperately needed, but her death, like other sacrificial death are not necessarily tragic.

Indeed - change has a habit of charging a high price.
