Tragedy in Northern Ireland has seemed an all too familiar news headline, since the present strife began 11 years ago. The statistics are grim enough but behind the tragedies are many untold stories. An old news film gives the bare outline of two brothers found shot dead; another unsolved sectarian crime for the police, but a personal and unforgettable nightmare for a mother. In this two-part film, Joan Orr tells her own story of her hopes and fears during that night in 1972 when her family became news headlines; how subsequently tragedy turns into a kind of hope, and how she found the faith to survive.
