Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland
PBS: Monday 9th – Friday 13th June at 9pm
From the makers of ONCE UPON A TIME IN IRAQ comes a powerful five-part series about Northern Ireland. This is the story of the Troubles, told by ordinary people who were drawn into a conflict that claimed thousands of lives.
Both epic history and intimate memory, it mixes extraordinary archive footage and untoldpersonal testimony to create a unique, multi-generational portrait. It charts the Troubles from the late 1960s through to the present day, with compelling insights from thepeople who lived through them.
With an emphasis on understanding and empathy for all points of view, the series portrays communities that had to live with daily violence – and that are still trying to hold onto a fragile sense of peace today.
