A film documenting the life of the late journalist Lyra McKee is to be shown in Derry's Nerve Centre this week.Directed by BAFTA-winning Alison Millar and using hours of voice recordings from Lyra’s own mobile, computer and Dictaphone, 'Lyra' seeks answers to her senseless killing through Lyra’s own work and words.
