A FERMANAGH victims' group documentary made in response to the Bobby Sands film '66 Days' could be shown in Stormont with help from the First Minister.
'Remembering Those Who Had No Choice' was shown earlier this month to an invited audience including Arlene Foster, who is an MLA for Fermanagh.
After the premiere of the film, made by the South East Fermanagh Foundation, director Kenny Donaldson talked about plans to show the film somewhere east of the Bann and Mrs Foster said she was "happy to help" and suggested the Long Gallery at Stormont.
For this to happen though it would require a nationalist to sign off on the form to meet the Assembly Commission's requirements for events.
"I was pleased to attend the screening of the film produced by the South East Fermanagh Foundation and indicated to the group that I would be happy to help if they wished to have it shown at Stormont," Mrs Foster confirmed.
Mr Donaldson told the Irish News they were looking at plans to show the film in Belfast because the message "needed to be taken there". He said the documentary was a "dignified response" to a film that doesn't tell the "whole truth".
The documentary, which features case studies of four people who died as a result of the Troubles during the 1981 hunger strikes, is a direct response to a controversial film based on the diaries of Bobby Sands, currently being shown in cinemas across Ireland. It also features a further 14 victims of terrorism across the north, Republic and Great Britain.
Since its release '66 days' has proven hugely popular with cinema audiences recording the Republic's highest opening weekend returns for an Irish-made documentary. In the north it came fifth in the box office chart for opening weekends.
