The Troubles pt. 1

Chris, Agnes and Michael grew up during the final years of the Troubles: the long and messy conflict between catholics & protestants in Northern-Ireland. They help us understand the basics of colonialism -back then and now- and make us part of the sense of danger that colored their early years. In return, we are rewarded with a warm sense of community & a real intensity that comes to life, when everything is at stake.
