Synopsis
For more than four years, Martin McGartland lived the astonishing double life of a secret agent. To the IRA, he was a trusted Intelligence Officer and an integral member of an active service unit. To the British Government, however, he was known only as 'Agent Carol'. Martin is credited by the British Intelligence with saving the lives of at least fifty people by tipping off the authorities. But, eventually his cover was blown and was taken from Sinn Fein headquarters in Belfast to an IRA safehouse for questioning and almost certain execution. Though guarded by armed men, in a desparate bid for freedom, he dived from a third floor window... This breathtaking story is now a major film starring Ben Kingsley and Jim Sturgess.
