Patrick Kielty: One Hundred Years of Union

In this documentary, Patrick Kielty delves into the implications of a new trade border in the Irish Sea, which has ignited violent protests and fears of renewed conflict in Northern Ireland. With a personal connection to the subject, Kielty reflects on the legacy of the Troubles, a conflict that deeply affected his family, including the loss of his father, Jack Kielty.

The film shifts focus to a younger generation, born after the ceasefire, as Kielty seeks to understand the motivations behind the current unrest, particularly within loyalist communities. He also raises questions about the possibility of a united Ireland and examines how the trauma from Northern Ireland's past continues to influence its present and future. This documentary provides a poignant look at the challenges facing Northern Ireland as it navigates its identity and political landscape one hundred years after its establishment.
