Kino Lorber have announced that they will release on Blu-ray acclaimed director Ken Loach's
Hidden Agenda (1990), starring Frances McDormand, Brian Cox, and Brad Dourif. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market this September.
Synopsis: Academy Award® winner Frances McDormand (Fargo) and Brian Cox (Rob Roy) confront danger and deception at every turn in this "chilling, explosive" (The New York Times) story set in strife- torn Northern Ireland. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Hidden Agenda is a "taut political thriller" (The Hollywood Reporter) that "makes the unthinkable seem all too plausible" (The Washington Post).
American activists Paul Sullivan (Brad Dourif) and his fiancée Ingrid Jessner (McDormand) journey to Belfast to probe allegations of brutal human rights abuses by British security forces. When Paul is killed under mysterious circumstances, the official reports list him as an I.R.A. accomplice. But Ingrid and British policeman Paul Kerrigan (Cox) question the findings and begin to uncover a shocking high-level conspiracy. Now, with their safety in jeopardy, they must decide whether to risk everything to reveal the truth.
