Lost Lives is a major cinematic film inspired by the book of the same name. A book that, uniquely, records the circumstances of every man, woman and child who died in a conflict – the Northern Irish ‘Troubles.’ There are over 3700 entries in the book. Over 3700 lost lives. Featuring an elegiac combination of high-end cinematography, a full orchestral score and readings from the book by an ensemble cast of leading Irish actors, the film is a requiem.
