Ireland(s): A 2-Part Story about War and Peace | FULL DOCUMENTARY | EPISODE 2
In 2016 the Irish will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising, the insurrection that gave birth to the Republic of Ireland and has come to symbolize the fight against British occupation.
These days the guns are silent and the war in Northern Ireland is a thing of the past. The peace process has been stumbling forward since 1998, and while it has been challenging and patience-trying, it has also helped people open up and widen their perspective.
Ireland(s): The Rise of a Nation is a two-part documentary that takes an up-close look at one of the most significant conflicts of the late 20th century. It tells the story of this tormented island through moving interviews with people who lived through the conflict: both republicans and loyalists, men and women, politicians and freedom fighters, and simple bystanders. They give us their views on Ireland’s troubled past and discuss their own role in the violence, either as perpetuators or victims. They also share their fears for their island home, along with their hopes for a peaceful future.
The current leaders of the Republican movement contend that they are moving forward with the flow of history. They see armed resistance as a thing of the past, saying that the ballot box is the only way to reunite Ireland. But others see the peace strategy as a betrayal of the Republican ideal of reuniting the island and forging an independent country. They are keeping the possibility of reviving the armed struggle alive, pointing at delays in the peace process, Britain’s broken promises and skyrocketing unemployment. For Unionists, the road has been even rockier. The peace process and the growing electoral popularity of Sinn Fein’s Republicans have dashed their hope of regaining their former dominance. The Irish flag now flies over Belfast City Hall and the government of the Irish Republic has a right of say in the affairs of Northern Ireland. The second film unfolds in this climate of confrontation and tension. As our main characters share their stories, viewers come to realize that it is far easier to wage war than to build peace.

Fascinating documentary on the history of Ireland and its relationship with Great Britain. May peace prevail.
What a fascinating resume of NI affairs over some 30 years. I lived in safety in Dublin during all of this period but occasional business trips to northern Ireland were always of concern to my wife. What a change has taken place and Paisley, Trimble, Adams and McGuinness deserve eternal credit. David McCabe Dublin now aged 85.

Because Nationalists have murdered us again and again. ROI was created by ethnically cleansing us. The Troubles were an attempt to do this. Every Nationalist bomb and murder and every death threat we receive every day is an attempt to do this. Ethno-nationalism is a genocidal ideology

The hate that the July 12th still spreads has no place on this island going forward. All those that still celebrate it are living fossils from days gone by. Let’s look to the future and let the past be just that, in the past
When that guy is talking about the release of prisoners and claims the Republican prisoners were held in higher esteem by their community then loyalist prisoners I feel he's pretty wrong. Fighters from both sides became elected officials and were treated with high regards by their people.
When 40% of the British army was from the island of Ireland in 1840 only 5 years later 1million people starved protestant and Catholic. Being part Ulster that annoys me Being used like this and iam Protestant!
Good documentary. So, if Northern Ireland at some point votes in favor of a united Ireland, will the Republic also be in favor? I'm certainly no expert, but the perceptions from both countries are not necessarily the same.

I worry a bit about how Gerry Adams used an Afrikaner analogy several times there. There is currently a flight of those of Afrikaner heritage away from South Africa. It would be a tragedy if the same was ultimately to happen to members of the PUL community

That's what he wants and that's what Irish Nationalists want. They have ethnically cleansed us sporadically for over a century and we won't leave. We'll fight to the death and a United Ireland won't force us into 'real' Irish identity. Every pogrom Nationalists have launched at us has failed because we're still here. Get used to it

@@jackietreehorn5561 Ulster Protestant. There were pogroms in ROI during your revolution. Thousands of us were killed during the Troubles. The IRA described their own border country murder campaign as 'ethnic cleansing'. The PUL community is descended from many people driven out of ROI when it was founded. Your country is now murdering new immigrants and is in the grip of a far right backlash. You still have designs on us and want rid of us for a United Ireland. You may have made a mistake and bitten off more than you can chew trying to attack us and new immigrants at the same time.
