Pete kavanagh - mercy (official video).mp4 | Mary Duffin

Music video for Mercy by Pete Kavanagh. VIDEO CREDITS Director and Story Editor - Mary Duffin "A simple tale told in black and white encapsulates the anger of Pete Kavanagh in the new music video for his latest song ‘Mercy’. The Americana-infused track tackles one of the countries most stigmatised issues, supporting victims of clerical and state abuse. The video - directed by Mary Duffin and shot in black and white - tells the story of a man journeying to confront the priest who abused him in his youth. Pete Kavanagh himself plays the protagonist, while his son portrays the younger version of the character. Ominous close-up shots and heavy use of Christian iconography hint at the dark underbelly of the story without having to spell it out." — Hot Press
