Michael McConville Critiques Disney’s Say Nothing for Portraying IRA Murder of His Mother
Michael McConville has condemned the Disney drama ‘Say Nothing’ for its portrayal of his mother, Jean McConville, who was murdered by the IRA during The Troubles. He described the series as ‘horrendous’ and ‘cruel,’ stating that it reduces his family’s tragedy to mere entertainment. The drama, based on a book by Patrick Radden Keefe, recounts the stories of individuals affected by the conflict in Northern Ireland. McConville expressed his disapproval of the series’ existence so close to the anniversary of his mother’s death, emphasizing the emotional toll it takes on his family.
