holy cross purport to be a true representation of the horrifying and sham event in belfast back in 2001 when catholic schoolgirl be subject and by protest loyalist and to a tunnel of verbal and physical abuse on their way to class . but the whole film be fill with fictional episode and character which seek to condition the audience into a deep understanding of the background to the story . there be a wholly moral line of thought which suggest such attack on child require no forgiving back story and be disgraceful in themselves and with or without the nod of history and but that doesn not seem have occur to the maker ( bbcni and of course ) . in their heavy hand attempt to rewrite the fact any understanding of why the loyalist behave in such a shocking manner be put well beyond use . this be one of those film where editorial and political concern about content seek to revise the truth . and under those stricture any comment about performance or technical grace be irrelevant . absurdly this one part drama be split into two piece by the bbc on the night it be show and interrupt by the news this only add to the fiction of the whole film .
