Playwright: Big screen ignoring NI Protestants

Award-winning Ulster playwright Gary Mitchell claims Protestants are being ignored by the big screen when it comes to depicting the North.

The Belfast writer, whose stage plays look at the Loyalist community, often in stark terms, revealed that he was invited to attend the recent screening of the controversial 'Hunger', the film based on Bobby Sands and the IRA hunger strike at the Maze in the 1980s, but did not attend.
