Devastating Netflix doc explains why the Irish border issue matters GlobeArts
If you can figure out exactly what’s happening in the ceaseless voting on, and rejection of, British PM Theresa May’s Brexit plan, you’re a better person than me.
The atrocity happened on a lonely road late at night in July, 1975. The Miami Showband, a top pop act in Ireland north and south, was returning from a gig in the town of Banbridge in the North. Like other entertainers, they played regularly on both sides of the border. There was an appetite for escapist entertainment, especially in the North, as sectarian violence engulfed the area and the British army failed to contain the terrorism.
Travers, a remarkable figure of great dignity and perseverance, is the central figure in the documentary. He left Ireland for London and anonymity after the atrocity. Years passed, and as the sectarian violence ended and peace arrived – mainly because of the lack of a border – questions were raised about what exactly the British Army, backed by British intelligence, had been doing in Northern Ireland during those terrible years.
