The film also shows reasons the case was not pursued aggressively. Gibney’s film reveals significant aspects of the case, many of which were hidden in plain sight and shed light on corrupt practices. The killings are still, over two decades later, officially unsolved, though the militant Protestant Ulster Volunteer Force claimed responsibility for the attack. “I don’t think they ever lifted a stone, never mind turned it,” she says. In this film, Claire Rogan, the widow of one of the victims, recalls being told by the authorities that there would be “no stone unturned” in bringing the killers to justice.
Two balaclava-wearing men came into the establishment and killed six people. On the evening of June 18, 1994, in a pub in a small village in Northern Ireland, a group of men were watching a World Cup game taking place an ocean away. According to his narration in “No Stone Unturned,” the director Alex Gibney stumbled upon the subject matter of this film while working on another documentary about the World Cup.
