“Animal is based on a true story. It’s based on a newspaper article I read about a camp in England that was raided by police and they found eight or nine people that were being kept as slaves. Then I heard another story where a man was trafficked into Ireland under false pretences and misled as to what he was going to be doing. So Animal kind of came out of that. It’s about a man who escapes from the camp where he’s being held and through a series of flashbacks we see where he has come from,” said Niall.
