Poetic Film Review: When the Sky Falls (2000)

In the streets of Dublin, a journalist's fight,
Against powerful foes, shedding light.
Veronica Guerin's story, thinly veiled,
In When the Sky Falls, truth unveiled.

Joan Allen shines as Sinead Hamilton,
Determined, vulnerable, taking a stand.
Facing death threats, assault, and fear,
Her courage, unwavering, crystal clear.

Director John Mackenzie's vision in play,
Mixing action with commentary each day.
A low budget film, seeking closure,
But critics hostile, seeking exposure.

Patrick Bergin as Mackey, a force of might,
A character out of place, in the night.
When the Sky Falls, a story told,
Of journalism's courage, brave and bold.

In the end, a reflection on truth and fame,
In a world where justice is not just a game.
Veronica Guerin's legacy, forever alive,
In the hearts of those who dare to strive.
