From the makers of the Bafta and Emmy award winning documentary Once Upon a Time in Iraq comes a powerful new series. This is the story of the Troubles in Northern Ireland told by the ordinary people whose lives it changed forever. Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland mixes extraordinary archive footage and intimate, untold testimony to create a unique, multi-generational portrait of a place shaped by over three decades of conflict. With an emphasis on understanding and empathy for all points of view, the series shines a light on communities that had to live with violence on a daily basis—and that are still trying to hold onto a fragile sense of peace today.
