Mountbatten: Death Of A Royal

The bomb that killed Lord Louis Mountbatten was probably the most devastating attack of the Provisional IRA’s campaign and the moment ’The Troubles’ claimed their highest profile victim. This landmark documentary interviews the key figures of the tragedy, and assesses how well the scars have healed. We look at Mountbatten’s life and the impact his death had on the village of Mullaghmore and on the Royal family.
