In League with Gaddafi

SYNOPSIS

Documentary about the 1989 trip to Libya by a combined St Patrick's Athletic/Bohemians team to play against a leading Libyan side, at a time when Muammar Gaddafi's country was a pariah state. The film uses the RTÉ archives to contextualise the overt and covert links between Libya and the Irish State in the 1980s, when Gaddafi backed the Provisional IRA as a proxy force in his war on the West
