5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best documentaries you will ever see!, September 2, 2008

By	Ian Braun (tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was originally produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting. For anyone interested in the history of the modern troubles, this is a great primer. Many of the important players in the events are interviewed. The British, protestant, and catholic sides are all there. One of the most telling things in talking to those who have seen the video is that I have noticed that each of the sides thinks that the other side has been too postiviely portrayed. It is very short and to the point with vintage video as well as modern perspective. Sadly, the producer has passed away, but what a job he did.
