This film shows the Northern people as they truly were and are! The young lady speaks like we are in the South. I hope she had a happy life as them all. Faulker, Paisley, the B specials and a few fire brands. The few extremists at the top caused this breeding hate. If only when the British army came they and brought in direct rule.! Stopping Faulker and Paisley using the army for their own political army.

Bringing back to me that twisting fear nerve in my stomach as we had to evacuate from our home. Seeing that footage of burnt out homes and poor people searching for hope for the future. Awful sad. Colonisation has a lot to answer for, it divides by religion or race - it doesn't care about people only greed and needs totally dismantled.

Great point ! If you read the history of the English monarchy it is nothing but a litany of power grabs, land grabs, sexual concubines and if you had to murder your nearest relatives to gain it, so be it. The English higher archy are the most loathsome set of humans in history . They gave us Northern Ireland, Israel, India v Pakistan, the slave trade etc. Greed is their mantra.

We lived in a gable end house on kashmir rd, once in 71-72 a film crew filmed the family rising for breakfast getting ready for school etc while being interviewed, they filmed my two sisters walking away up the road to school. Afterwards they filmed my mother walking to the butchers where apparently they insisted on paying for the purchased meat. Mam always suspected they were swedish but my sister said she thought they were Americans. What i would give to see that footage, i have a forlorn hope it may pop up on here one day.

These people had great foresight. They could see what was coming. The terrible thing is thousands died and the City is more divided.Walls and Walls. Catholics were second class citizens and Paisley had plenty of blood on his hands for encouraging mob rule. Fast forward to today and both sides would say the same thing. What a great program.Thanks for sharing.🇮🇪

@@ATroubledLand It really would be some scoop to find it as we all left Belfast for good in late 72, it broke my mothers heart leaving shes never recovered, it would be very special if it was able to be located. It was 40 Kashmir Rd, surname Angus, family of 3 boys 2 girls, 14 the eldest, i'll be the one in the pushchair. We were selected as a suitable family to appear in the film, as my 87 yr old mother said earlier, by the boys who stood out on the corner, when i pressed her who exactly, she said, with her back slightly stiffening and the aversion of my gaze, 'just the boys on the barricades, we don't talk about things like that', it made me chuckle. So it features the family getting up for school, then my mother walks to the butchers on springfield rd, before going to mass in the Clonard Monastry with myself. Cameras never went into mass but were there afterwards to go back to 40 Kashmir when i think my father makes a brief appearance back from work for his lunch. My father was an ex English soldier, who from the early fifties lived and brought up his family in west belfast, ie Ballymurphy before moving into my grandma's family home on Kashmir rd, and he was so very much a trusted part of the community. No one knows if this film was ever shown anywhere. We are pretty sure It was done before the august internment but defo after March, narrowing it down to those months, we think, memory can be a fallible device. I cant think of much else that could help you identify the film? but i truly hope it exists it would be marvellous to see it. We can hope. Thanks. C.

Don't forget ! every single generation of Irish people will look at what the British state is responsible for in ulster 🇮🇪 ! And learn from the mistakes of the Irish government and the ( PIRA) campaign 1960 to 1997 in fairness the lads had good go at it ! As for Michael Collins who gave him the right to sell our own people down river ! The next generation of Irish people needs to learn from our past and to learn you never sell out your own people or country ! No matter what the costs my be ! No Irish person should be left behind and that includes all people who were born in Ireland.

Interesting document. Fake news is not a modern thing of course rather quite an old way of dividing people. I feel there's no enough emphasis on how things were, the level of discrimination towards Catholics... I mean, the way they keep asking the same question : why can't they live together? But apart from one example half way through you'd really think the fight is over religion rather than equal rights 😉
