Seamlessly weaving archival material with masterfully convincing reenacted footage, Few Can See throws us into a television set as it covers the late 1980s conflict in Northern Ireland. The film brings life what was intentionally omitted from the archive, shedding light on the blackout strikes that were broadcast across Ireland and Britain in response to media censorship.
