The Mighty Celt

In the 2005 Irish-British drama "The Mighty Celt," Tyrone McKenna plays Donal, a 14-year-old who becomes passionate about greyhound racing and is driven by a promise made by Ken Stott's character, Good Joe. Meanwhile, Gillian Anderson stars as Kate, Donal's mother, whose life is disrupted by the return of Robert Carlyle's character, O, from her past. The film is set against the backdrop of Northern Ireland's political climate, specifically in a Catholic community where greyhound racing remains a legacy of the "Troubles."
