Saipan with Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn and Éanna Hardwicke | Picturehouse

Sam Clements talks to directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn, as well as actor Éanna Hardwicke about their new film Saipan, which is in cinemas now.  SAIPAN explores the explosive clash between soccer star Roy Keane (Éanna Hardwicke) and manager Mick McCarthy (Steve Coogan) before the 2002 FIFA World Cup.   Their feud, rooted in clashing standards and personalities, erupted on the island of Saipan, shaking the Irish team and nation. As Keane walked out, McCarthy faced chaos.   This gripping true story goes beyond sport to become a dramatic, often comic tale of leadership and loyalty – and a rivalry that captured global attention.  Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
