Description

William Crawley explores some of the social, cultural and political influences that have shaped aspects of identity in Northern Ireland. He looks at how Ulster has been a meeting place between different traditions and the impact of its close connections with Scotland. He is the navigator on this epic 400 year journey to understand the complexities of the past and how they might help us to think differently about the present. He is joined by a cast of historians, writers and commentators - all of them with something important to say about the people and events that have made this place we call home. From the violence of the 1970s, to the agreements of the 90s and beyond, the third and final episode explores some of the key moments of the past 50 years. William examines some of the individual voices, the groups and cultural, literary and political forces that have helped shape our sense of who we are. He also traces how the Ulster-Scots heritage has taken its place in the landscape of Northern Ireland.
