A Million Bricks
In the optimism
of the 1960’s people bought new homes in Springfield Park only to find
themselves at the heart of a battle when the Troubles broke out. After a
night of violence in 1971, six people were killed and Catholic and
Protestant families left the last mixed street in West Belfast.
A Million Bricks is
the story of a scattered community told by the people themselves and
directed and produced by Frank Martin and Seamus Kelters, who lived
there. They were ordinary people who saw their hopes realised, then dashed within the space of a decade.
Where once stood a row of houses shared by Protestants and Catholics now stands Belfast’s biggest peace-line, a wall of a million bricks, separating them.
Co Director Frank Martin will travel from Belfast for this screening to introduce the film and take part in a Q&A after the film so don't miss this!
Bernadette: Notes on a Political Journey
Did you know that
Bernadette Devlin was once described by an opponent as “Fidel Castro in
a mini skirt”? That she punched the Home Secretary in the Houses of
Parliament the day after Bloody Sunday? That she was elected MP at 21?
Thanks to Director Lelia Doolan for permission to screen this film.
Rescheduled from Southside Film Festival, May 2012, for St Patrick's Day weekend.
