In the Name of the Father is a 1993 biographical crime drama film produced and directed by Jim Sheridan, and written by Sheridan and Terry George, based on the 1990 autobiography Proved Innocent by Gerry Conlon. A co-production between Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, it tells the story of the Guildford Four, four people falsely convicted of the 1974 Guildford pub bombings that killed four off-duty British soldiers and a civilian. The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $65.8 million at the box office against a $13 million budget. It was nominated for seven Oscars at the 66th Academy Awards, including Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Best Supporting Actor (Pete Postlethwaite), Best Supporting Actress (Emma Thompson), Best Director, and Best Picture.

Each of you opens In the Name of the Father on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
