‘Tells the shocking story of the IRA kidnapping and killing in 1973 of Thomas Niedermayer, the German boss of the Belfast Grundig factory, where Catholics and Protestants worked together productively, and how this led remorselessly to four family suicides. I cannot praise it enough. We have an unembroidered, heartrending story showing the ghastly reality of terrorism, and the torment victims go through … The contributions from commentators [are] superb.’— RUTH DUDLEY EDWARDS, BELFAST NEWS LETTER (FOR THE DOCUMENTARY FILM).
‘David Blake Knox’s non-fiction work is a lie detector for the post-Troubles era ... Niedermayer becomes, in Blake Knox’s clear yet deceptively subtle argument, a perfect test case.’ — THE IRISH TIMES (FOR 'THE KILLING OF THOMAS NIEDERMAYER' 2019).
‘A consistently thought-provoking read... impressively researched and morally clear-sighted.’ — THE SUNDAY BUSINESS POST (FOR 'THE KILLING OF THOMAS NIEDERMAYER' 2019).
‘Gripping, chilling, properly enraging...The film digs up some still-startling horrors, but it also restores fleshed-out humanity to a decent man.’ ****— DONALD CLARKE, THE IRISH TIMES (FOR THE DOCUMENTARY FILM).
‘Searingly powerful’— JOE DUFFY, LIVELINE, RTÉ RADIO ONE (FOR THE DOCUMENTARY FILM).
