If you missed it in the cinema, now is your chance to catch it!

Released in Irish cinemas in late October 2018, Katie was a fantastic documentary.

As we said in our review, this was exactly the kind of movie that Conor McGregor’s Notorious should have been:

“We get a decent look at who she is as a person, as well as a fantastic overview of the profoundly positive influence she has had not just on boxing, but for all female sports personalities around the world.

“It also isn’t afraid to shine a light on the less positive sides of Taylor’s life, instead of just being an endless cheerleading service for the topic of the documentary.”

JOE also had a fantastic chat with the movie’s director Ross Whitaker, which you can check out right here:

The movie went on to win Best Irish Feature Documentary at the Galway Film Fleadh, as well as being runner-up for Best Documentary at the Dublin Film Critic’s Circle Awards at the end of 2018.

Best of all, if you did miss it during its cinema run, then we’re happy to report that Katie will be getting its Irish TV premiere on RTE One on Tuesday 15 January at 10.15pm.

Set your recorders now so you can watch it as many times as you’d like!
