 Inver resident Risteard O' Domhnaill's documentary 'BolivianEscapades' airs on AlJazeera on Wednesday, 3rd April at 10.30pm.

Risteard, the man behind the award winning film 'The Pipe' chronicles the shaowdy events leading up to the death of Tipperary man  Dwyer and the many unanswered questions that remain.

Michael Dwyer was shot dead by Bolivian police in a Santa Cruz hotel room on April 19th 2009. Bolivian authrities claimed he was part of an alleged plot to assassinate the country's left- wing president Evo Morales. Repeated calls for a full enquiry by the Dwyer family into the circumstances of their son's death remain unheaded.

The former bouncer wasworking as a security gard at the Corrib Gas terminal for private security firm IRMS when he was recruited for the Bolivian escapade by a fellow security gard with extreme political views. Hungarian fascist Tibor Revesz was the head of a far right group known as the 'Szeklar Legion'. The former soldier ran his own security courses while working for IRMS in Mayo charging thousands of Euro to the likes of Michael Dwyer for small arms training.
