Gourt Home::Gourt :: Hidden Agenda (1990 film)
Hidden Agenda is a 1990 film starring Frances McDormand, Brian Cox, and Brad Dourif.
Hidden Agenda is a political thriller film directed by Ken Loach. The film is about the murder of an american civil rights activist in Northern Ireland by the police while driving in the company of an IRA sympathiser.
The motives behind this murder are supposed to show the "inner workings" of politics and (in Loach's belief) the way government acts to protect supposed freedom. We are shown the conformist face of people, the assumed futility of going against the "high powers", the manipulation of the media and some true ulterior motives that in Loach's socialist beliefs drive the current world.
