My Dad, The Peace Deal and Me
When Patrick Kielty was a teenager, his father was killed by paramilitary gunmen. Now he returns home to explore the personal and political legacy of Northern Ireland’s peace deal, twenty years on.
With questions over Brexit and the collapse of power-sharing in government putting the Good Friday Agreement back into the spotlight, Patrick wants to find out how far Northern Ireland has come on the road to reconciliation. Directed by Leo Burley, the film follows Patrick as he confronts perpetrators of the violence and meets others whose lives were shattered by the bloodshed.
