The Irish Film Institute is pleased to screen an episode from the final series of The Wire, to be followed by an on-stage interview with its creator, David Simon, on September 19th at 6.30pm.
Widely hailed as one of the greatest television series ever, The Wire has gained a reputation as challenging, urgent and uncompromising drama. Set in Baltimore, it is a rich, sprawling portrait of the city and documents the war on drugs being waged by local police.
After spending a year with the city's Homicide Unit, David Simon went on to write Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, a true crime classic that led to the creation of The Wire. This event provides a unique chance to see an episode of The Wire on the big screen and meet the man behind the series.
Tickets are €9.20 for non-members of the IFI, and €8 for members, and available now through www.irishfilm.ie, or by ringing +3531 3793477.
