📖 Story
A young thief's world shatters in a single moment when wrongful accusations bind him to a terrorist bombing he never committed. In the Name of the Father chronicles a harrowing journey through decades of imprisonment, where a father and son must forge an unbreakable bond amid concrete walls and broken justice. What emerges is a profound meditation on innocence, family loyalty, and the price of fighting a system determined to keep the truth buried. The film's raw emotional core transforms an injustice into a testament of human resilience.
