About the event

Preview: Saipan + Q&A
Preview screening on Wed 17 Dec, followed by a Q&A with directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn, hosted by Hugh Odling-Smee.

Saipan explores the explosive clash between soccer star Roy Keane (Éanna Hardwicke) and manager Mick McCarthy (Steve Coogan) before the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Their feud, rooted in clashing standards and personalities, erupted on the island of Saipan, shaking the Irish team and nation. As Keane walked out, McCarthy faced chaos.

Another uncanny Coogan real-life portrayal, and Hardwicke nailing Keane’s self-righteous fury, anchor this fast-paced, funny and perfectly balanced head-to-head, which dares you to pick a side.
