THE JOURNEY Opens in Theaters On June 16 and Stars Timothy Spall, Colm Meaney And Freddie Highmore

Alongside the big summer blockbusters comes the smaller cinematic gems that everyone appreciates and everyone looks forward to. 2017 is no different with such motion picture offerings such as THE BOOK OF HENRY, CHUCK, THE BEGUILED, BRIGSBY BEAR and THE JOURNEY.

An Official Selection at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, director Nick Hamm’s long-awaited drama premiered at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival on September 7, 2016.

Watch the trailer for THE JOURNEY below.

THE JOURNEY is the gripping account of how two men from opposite sides of the political spectrum came together to change the course of history. In 2006, amidst the ongoing, decades-long conflict in Northern Ireland, representatives from the two warring factions meet for negotiations. In one corner is Ian Paisley (Timothy Spall), the deeply conservative British loyalist; in the other is Martin McGuinness (Colm Meaney), a former Irish Republican Army leader who has devoted his life to the cause of Irish reunification.

Opposites in every way, the two men at first seem to have little chance of ever finding common ground. But over the course of an impromptu, detour-filled car ride through the Scottish countryside, each begins to see the other less as an enemy, and more as an individual—a breakthrough that promises to at last bring peace to the troubled region.

Driven by two virtuoso central performances, THE JOURNEY is a more-relevant-than-ever reminder of how simple humanity can overcome political division. John Hurt costars.

Opens in cinemas on June 16.
