Documentary about the IRA and women in Belfast (1995)

Original title: Whatever you say, say nothing
"I don't like living here, but I can't run away just because of the killing. I hope nobody in my family is going to get killed". (Shauna)
On the 14th of July 1994, a woman was found dead close to the Northern Irish border. 34-year-old Caroline of Belfast had been executed by the IRA for being a spy.
6 months earlier, filmmaker Brenda Parkerson had met with Caroline's daughter Shauna. Caroline said in an interview that she could not remember living in a time of peace; she has been a young child when the "troubles" in Belfast started. During the 25 years during which the war lasted, she got married and raised three children; and only a few weeks before the ceasefire started she was killed. Since the ceasefire, the situation in Northern Ireland has not changed much: the fear to talk is as big as ever before.
Brenda Parkerson investigates the sociological conditions that allowed such a crime to happen.

    Britain’s unsavoury past. Should never have been in Ireland. As a medic I worked with a large group of Irish people in the suburbs of London. They gave me anecdotal accounts of life under British rule in Eire before independence, appalling and shameful chapters of British history. But the fact that brutality and suppression in Northern Ireland continued into the late 20th century is unforgivable and unbelievable. Britain wades into international situations berating other nations for their abuse of human rights, yet their own history of abuse of human rights is still fresh in the memories of those unfortunate to have been a living part of it.

    I left school in 1985 I wanted to go into the army my mum said over her dead body. She said there is no way I have brought you up to go to Ireland to be shot. As I got older I understood what she meant with so many soldiers not coming home ( having watched the BBC all my life And only believing what we were told) I visited and worked there between 1998-2006 working from Belfast to Newry stayed in many places and being warned not to do this or that because I looked like ex army, and my English accent would put me in danger. I can honestly say I met nothing but lovely honest people. I spent weeks living in hotels in Derry, Belfast,(Park Ave hotel) visiting the Shankhill and the falls Rd ( with a few stories to tell obviously) also stayed in Newry( Mourne country hotel many times,) visited Nutts corner Sunday Market. Coleraine, Ballymena, (being there in marching season was something that will stay with forever) I am from Manchester with an obvious English accent but in all my visits i never felt scared. Northern Irish people are the salt of the earth. In my experience they just want to make sure you are well fed and watered. Would love to go back sometime.

    My father was infiltrator for mi5 in 70s. He also infiltrated the ira in early 70s. My dad spoke gaelic everything. They wouldn't catch him. My father passed away some years ago and that line of work he did long before he had children, or was married. My dad had ptsd and was severely traumatised. In his last years I tried talking to him about his past. He told me everytime he was infiltrating he hated the people and organisation he was infiltrating. Except the ira. When my dad was done on his assignment he told his bosses how he really felt and that it was a disastrous situation in which the uk did nothing but wrong (he saw the bodies on bloody sunday and what british military did). Of course they didn't care but my dad said from that moment he would try to get out of the mi5 for two reasons: 1: he would end up dead sooner than later and 2: he no longer believed he was doing anything right. My dad managed to eventually get out, became art historian and teacher and loved the irish ever since. He was by no means catholic. I wish I had asked my father a lot more, but he was a difficult person to talk to about his past and I didn't expect him to die when he did. Since then however I also hold warm feelings for the irish cause after I read into it. I hope you will get a unified ireland independent and without religious problems and no more intervention from the Brits (English)

    O' my name is Joe McDonnell From Belfast town I came That city I will never see again For in that town of Belfast I spent many happy days I love that town in oh so many ways. For it's there I spent my childhood and found for me a wife And set out to make for her a life. But all my young ambitions met with bitterness and hate I soon found myself inside a prison gate. CHORUS And so you call me a terrorist While you look down your gun When I think of all the deeds that you have done, You have plundered many nations Divided many lands You have terrorized their people You ruled with an iron hand. And you brought this reign of terror to my land. Though those many months internment in the and the Maze I thought about my land thoughout those days Why my country was divided Why I was now in jail Imprisoned without cause or without trial. And although I love my country I am not a bitter man I have seen cruelty and injustice first hand. Then one fateful morning I shook bold freedom's hand For right or wrong I tried to free my land. CHORUS then one cold October's morning trapped in the Lion's Den I found myself imprisoned once again I was committed to the H blocks for fourteen years or more on the blanket the conditions there were poor than a hunger strike we did commence for the dignity of man but it seems to me that no one gave us a damn and now I am a saddened man I've watched my comrades die but no one seemed to care or wonder why May God shine on you Bobby Sands for the courage you have shown May your glory and your fame be widely known. And Francis Hughs and Ray McCreesh you died unselfishly And Patsy O'Hara and next in line is me And all who lie behind me may your courage be the same And I pray to God my life is not in vain. Oh but sad and bitter was the year of 1981 For everything I lost and nothing won.

    I was born in 1991 so thankfully I missed most of the violence. But I remember growing up in the mid-late 90s that the past threat was always looming over people’s heads. And when I was a out playing in the streets I was always told to be aware of my surroundings at all times. But because I didn’t experience any direct contact with the Troubles, I’ve always felt a confusing mix between disassociation and a deep rooted fear of it happening again. Guess many local people of my generation feel the same way.

One person recommended secular schools, which would do us all a power of good whichever part of the world you're in, god has nothing to do with it. How to talk to each other in a civil manner on KZread or Facebook..The History of Religions at O-Level Plus Chinese, Russian, Arabic etc.You would think that out of all the festering boils of historic injustice, Israel v Palestine, Albnania v Turkey, Turkey v Greece etc., this one would have been sorted out by now. The DUP getting handouts from May's government beyond belief ''There is no money tree''..The Uk Labour Party won't stand in the north, Sinn Fein won't take their seats at Westminster, Brexit approaching, I doubt the British Army has a taste for coming back, they've been downsized, still looking for cannon fodder amongst the proles though, techies and so on to go to do their bit and get treated like shit when they come home traumatised.

    Awesome doc. Even though I'm from the U.S. and can't understand a lot of what the people are saying. LOL. My ancestry, like a lot of people in the US, is majority Great Britain and Irish. I find these stories absolutely fascinating about the Irish constantly being bullied by the British. It's equally incredible to me, how much of an influence the UK as a whole has had on the U.S. and the world. Such a small land mass has had such a huge impact. One more thing, you British keep good records. I was able to trace my surname origin to 1500's Devon where all of my British ancestors are from up to now.

    I was in Belfast at about that time. As an English traveller, not Romany but what was called in the media, a : new age traveller. I hate that term. Anyway, I had a Landy and an 18 foot caraven and I ended up about 45 miles North of Balfast at a commune. We went into town for the music festival that was on in all the pubs and venues. On the way back to the Holy Lands after our night out, we stopped at an Indian takeaway for a bit of food. It was like a chippy, but served curry and bhajis and all the rest. Great night. We went back the next week and the place was all blackened and boarded up. Another day I was taken to see a guy who wanted to buy my English registered Landy from me. There were a couple of Columbian looking geezers in this affluent Belfast house, staying mostly out of the way. I refused to sell the vehicle as I said that I needed to tow my caravan back to England. This resulted in an offer, a few days later, of another car as a swap, that was capable of towing the caravan hpme. I refused again and got out of ireland as soon as I could. Many other things happened too, but that one is the one that really clicks with this video. When I look back over that period with older eyes, I see how much of the confusion between factions was caused by emotional response. Critical thought only entered the arena as a justification for emotional acts. I was the same too in my own way. I would act badly then decide why what I did was ok. None of this is easy to say, but I now tend to look for why my actions might disadvantage someone else, before I act. This is as a result of being a real cunt, and needing to change because it all ceased to work out for me. Unfortunately, the Human animal seems to be just intelligent enough to create an environment fit for a very few of the planet's inhabitants : the rest have to suffer the consequences.

    "New Age Travellers" were treated like shit by the Thatcher Government same goes for the Miners, NHS auxilllary staff and other union workers. It seems to me that the message they were sending is very much "fit in to our broken system which serves the elites and does not want people to help each other or else". I was too young back then but I remember seeing Stoney Cross (New Forest) and Stonehenge on the TV. My Thatcher loving parents would fall for the propaganda everytime ("get a job"), I was 7 but I knew people were losing their jobs everywhere. I did ask questions to which the usual reply came back from the Almighty Know Nothing Mother - "I haven't got time to explain complicated adult things to you" Good on you friend

    I'm American a mutt essentially, but half my family immigrated from either the Highlands to Canada than the US, or from Ireland to Scotland for a short period to America. I'm also catholic, and grew up going to the predominately Irish Catholic Church of our city (the Catholic faith is decreasing and splitting it up by the Irish, German, and Italian churches isn't as prominent anymore, and recently the prominently Italian churches closed it's doors. many have closed their doors due to the faith dying out but that's the way it used to be). Anyways my point their is evident disdain for Catholics in the USA, but for whatever reason on St. Patty's Day they all decide it's ok for one day, and they celebrate the shit out of it. Mostly cause it's a good excuse to get drunk.That's my experience here in the states as an American. Of course it's a big country so views differ all over. They harp on all the sex scandals in Catholic church, but turn a blind eye to the sex abuse, human trafficking, and just overall despicable actions in Hollywood, Protestant denominations, and in the political world. Theirs an attack on Christianity all together nowadays, but has always seemed to be very heavily targeted at Catholic church.
