WAR AND PEACE IN IRELAND

This documentary film aims to retrace the conflict in Northern Ireland since 1968 up until the present day. The principal events treated will be the civil rights mouvement of the late 60’s, the outbreak of a very long, costly war in 1969 and the birth of a peace process in the early 1990’s that ultimately led to the IRA cease fires of 1994 and 1997; and to the current all party negociations that today offer the best chance for peace to the people of Northern Ireland in over a generation.
The film will explore the complexities of this conflict by the use of archival footage, and through the portraits of political leaders who have lived these events and who have played an important role in the search for a peacefull
resolution to the apparently interminable Irish “troubles”.
