Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Sylvestra Le Touzel stars in Naming the Names. Le Touzel portrays Finn McQuillen, a political activist at large in contemporary Belfast. Her devotion to her nationalistic cause results in betrayal and tragedy. Though described tersely as a "crime drama" in most TV listings, the film is thought-provoking enough to transcend its genre. Made for British TV in 1987, Naming the Names premiered in America in March of 1988 through the facilities of the A&E cable network.
