FALLS WOMEN'S CENTRE
Through interviews and personal stories with founder members of the Falls Women’s Centre and other local women, the project examines 25 years of providing services, support and education to women. The discussion includes subjects such as childbirth, abortion, marital problems, social security, violence against women as well as the more widely known experiences of the Troubles….and how all these experiences shaped lives.
GIROS
How a disparate group of young people got together in the time of Thatcher and urged others ‘don’t accept your lot in life’. Rediscover the A Centre, Giros, the Belfast Youth & Community Group, Warzine and the strands of the punk movement, which continued throughout the 1980s to build resources and non-sectarian space in the city centre. The experiment lasted 17 years and contributed to building the foundations of the music industry in Northern Ireland.
