A Mother Brings Her Son to Be Shot is a 2017 documentary film written and directed by Sinéad O'Shea. Filmed over a period of five years, it tells the story of the O'Donnell family in Derry. Their older son Philly had received a punishment shooting from a paramilitary group. His mother had helped organise it to prevent a worse fate happening to him. The film explores the effects and ramifications of this, along with the sociopolitical background of The Troubles in Ireland, which, however, officially ended in 1998, and how communities remain affected after the Good Friday Agreement.
