Hidden Agenda DVD
A gripping and unsettling political thriller in which the investigation of a murder exposes secrecy, corruption and the dangerous machinery of power.
Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his genuine love of cinema, unforgettable performances and the craft of filmmaking.
Dad was an actor and scriptwriter who understood the importance of character, dialogue and films willing to question those in authority. His collection reflected a lifelong appreciation for intelligent political drama, grounded performances and stories that trusted their audience to confront difficult ideas.
Directed by Ken Loach and written by Jim Allen, Hidden Agenda stars Frances McDormand as American human rights investigator Ingrid Jessner. When her colleague Paul Sullivan, played by Brad Dourif, is murdered in Northern Ireland, she is determined to uncover what happened.
British police investigator Peter Kerrigan, portrayed by Brian Cox, is assigned to examine the killing. Their search for answers leads towards a recording containing potentially explosive information and allegations involving the security services and powerful political figures.
Ken Loach approaches the story without unnecessary gloss, allowing its tension to emerge through guarded conversations, conflicting accounts and the growing fear that the truth may never be permitted to surface. Frances McDormand and Brian Cox bring restraint and conviction to a thriller shaped by political violence, intimidation and institutional secrecy.
A compelling addition for collectors of Ken Loach films, British political cinema and intelligent conspiracy thrillers exploring justice, corruption and the abuse of authority.
