Cinema tonight: La Syndicaliste

The fifth and final film in the Brigid 1500 season in Kilcullen Town hall is La Syndicaliste, showing this evening, Tuesday 27 February. A French thriller, it tells the extraordinary real-life story of Irish woman Maureen Kearney, a senior trade union representative-turned-whistleblower in a French power company. 

Maureen¯s efforts to expose top-secret deals met with fierce resistance from powerful people. Her life was turned upside down when she was violently assaulted and then subsequently accused by police of faking the attack.

The screening is by Kilcullen Bridge Cinema, a Kilcullen Lions Club initiative in association with Access Cinema.
