Description
The Shankill, a roughly mile long road in Belfast Northern Ireland, is home to a working class, Protestant community. Their history is complex and troubled and yet they have survived with pride and resilience. During the thirty years of sectarian violence, many stories of this community have been told. A Peace Agreement was signed in 1998 and most journalists and photographers packed their bags and left before the ink had dried. But it is still a fragile peace that remains. The Shankill: A Portrait of Pride and Resilience depicts a proud community defined by their traditions, hoping to move beyond their past. It is a portrait of today.
