Unseen - Short Strand Old Documentary Belfast 1975 | The Troubles PART 1

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Short Strand Old Documentary captured in Belfast in 1975 and takes you on a journey into the thinking of people from this area at that time.
The streets without peace walls and both sides looking directly at one another is facinating and sad.
The film maker makes reference on being here many times filming pre 1975 therefore I would assume more film is somewhere. Perhaps even amoungst the many thousands of film I am currently working through.
I will of course upload anything more I have on Short strand and surrounding areas i.e. Markets etc.

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video - the second part of this documentary is now available here : ruclips.net/video/xQNrxDfrtxM/видео.html
This was a very powerful documentary. More evidence to prove why even in 2022 mental health issues are the legacy of the troubles on all sides . More effort is need by MLAs to treat this curse now. And all people of northern ireland and all communities can start living there lives instead being haunted and held by the past .from a son of a policeman who has been battling PTSD and depression since i was child due to the troubles. Even at the age of 44 im still effected by the past every day. I know i am not alone. There is help out there and you can get through this . God bless
Aww, watching all the women enjoying themselves singing, up dancing at the end, is so lovely and heartwarming .. the same women who all kept their windows sparkling clean, as we see throughout this video ☘💚☘
The strand looked better then than in the 90's & the women made me cry tears of joy!!
Real tough women living in Short Strand. You wouldn't mess with them. I grew up on the Falls and I know these women. Fierce and loyal.
?
They remind me of the women of Hessle Road in Hull in 1968. Lily Bilocca took on the trawler owners and won after the loss of three trawler crews. It's a class thing. Power to the Starry Plough.
@@trevorcourtney7457 that is a good comparison Trevor. Those Hull Women are exactly the same kind of tough working class women who wouldn't back down. It was the women of the Falls Road who came out en masse to break the Falls Road Curfew and the British army could do nothing. When the working class unite the ruling class quake.
The trauma the children of this time went through must now have effected their lives as adults. A child growing up in any situation thinks its normal when it really wasn't normal. The British have got q lot to anwser for. I was born in the UK in the 80s growing up I thought the Ira were bad bad People. As I get older and have read up on the history it actually makes me very angry. Just who do the British think they are the sheer audacity of Westminster. They did it in India and Pakistan palestine, Hong Kong and the opium wars. The slave trade. Its the most basic instinct to fight for your freedom if you're oppressed. One ireland, ruled by the Irish for the Irish, protestant or Catholic. Forgiveness is a good thing, but never ever forget. I really sincerely hope there is a lasting peace in Northern Ireland. I think the nationalist population will outnumber the unionists soon and then there will be a mandate for a vote of unification. I don't believe innocent people should have died on any side. I don't have a dog in this race but when I hear from the old Ira guys you can tell they was doing it for the cause, people like mad dog ardair and the uvf were just straight thugs. They just killed any Catholic they could.
The IRA had their fair share of thugs as well.
You are incredibly misinformed about the whole situation, if you for one minute think that either side is better or more justified than the other then your ‘research’ isn’t very extensive! Both sides did despicable things to each other and innocent civilians!! The IRA and all the branches of them plus the UDA, UVF and all other groups are lunatic’s!! The IRA killed maimed and slaughtered and tortured, literal hundreds of people with zero connection to a unified Ireland!! Just because they could!! Feckin Englishman read a few books and think they know!! That whole country is filled with lunatics! Who give the descent innocent folks a bad name!!
no winners we all just lost & the only sense spoken was by the poor wife of trade unionist shot dead like so many on both sides for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are 2 sides to every story & that's something you'll never find in an Irish American documentary. Same tears different graves.
In 2022, the demographics flipped. RCs now outnumber Prods in the North. Not that it matters since many Catholics are comfortable with the Union now. And that lot votes.
When immigrating to Canada in 1981, I met a young Belfast guy on my flight who was heading for Boston. We touched down at Shannon duty free terminal an decided to go in to the bar for a few pints of Guinness. This guy after swilling his first pint suddenly grew horns. He statred to get very aggressive with the bar staff and when I pointed out that they were just doing their job, he turned on me. Saying he was going shoot me in the head if I didnt shut up.
Woh ! If that is what the troubles did to humans I am glad I was brought up in the industrial roughhouse of west Lanarkshire ! Where getting your head kicked in on a Saturday night was the norm.
A strong community is the Short Strand unbroken to this day.
Thanks for this showing it warts and all, I hope that little 3 year old Jane came through it, ok?
Anne had it spot on and Rose is some woman i hope they survived?
My Dad was born Short Strand.His Mum was born a Lundy.Many Happy Hols spent on Bryson St.

Tough Irish Women.
Absolutely fantastic I was born in the shortstrand have you any other footage or documentaries about the erea if you have I would really, really appreciate it thank you very much
Thank you! Yes I have just started working on getting a massive archive of old and new uploaded. I'm sure i'll have more short strand film. Thanks for the comment :)
McGreevy, would you tell us a bit about your life? It would be interesting to hear about the Short Strand from your point of view.
@@longhairwhocares I find this a very emotional topic and wouldn't be happy sharing such information on a public forum. I enjoy a Troubled Land uploads on the shortstrand as I find them comforting
I was born in a hospital
Thank you for sharing this ! Brings back a lot of memories good/bad ! I use to sing the song ! A classic !! Fingers crossed today Sinn Fein will win war !! Full circle !!
There is a great movie on RUclips called "77" featuring the lot of a young English soldier getting seperated from his platoon in a riot and finding himself a pawn stuck between all three factions. The Loyalists, the Nationalists and the English. Great acting from all involved.
that's called 71
What a lovely voice that woman has singing at the end.does anyone know what the song is called
Lord bless them all and bring some one to help them back to Christianity
My mum was killed in a bomb incident in 1972 it was in anderson Street would you have any footage that relates to it
My deepest condolences..... Would that be the bomb they spoke off in the documentary that killed so many? I will check for you - there is some 15 minutes or so footage left of this documentary. Ill be uploading it soon as I fixed the audio.
@@ATroubledLand yes I was in the bomb myself I was only 4 year's old and all those people died and im still here
@@TheMaryanddan I've no words but I shed a tear... I'll dig around for you I promise.
@@ATroubledLand that means so much to me thank you very much
Great people great memories...we lived on mountpottinger Rd...granny lived clyde St and aunt in Thompson place..
Quite terrifying the absolute indoctrination, I’m not surprised it wasn’t shown. Whilst young people all over the world are going out enjoying themselves and going to bands and concerts and living life as only the young can and singing to the cure, or the Smiths or even Spandau Ballet these lost generation have their dreams lost forever and sing to folks that horrifically slaughtered women and children with bombing, and when they ask “don’t you wish it was normal” the poor thing says no
I take it these films only cover what happened to the poor Republican murderers?
@@bordersbhoy5284
Oh yeah
No Republican violence then?
Shooting RUC officers (Irishmen), blowing up women and children. As usual you a an apologist for a vile organisation!
Yes we catholic republicans should of stayed on our knees and accepted sectarian discrimination, And accepted being beaten off the streets while marching for civil rights , and being burnt out of our homes by the 1000s and slaughtered by loyalists backed up by state forces , sorry that the reality doesnt suit your delussional loyalist false narrative.
@Pa. D
Certainly doesn’t come across that way!
@Pa. D
Yeah 🤷♂️
After watching a RUclips documentary "featuring" the trails and tribulations of a certain Nationalist conlave, you brilliantly came up with that conclusion.
Personally I blame the schools.
WoW 😔✌️🍷🖤💛❤️
When you back mate
The narrator sounds American. A bit like James Woods, too. Anyone know who he is?
hi does anyone know what happened to the people 48 years on are they still living there and what happened to them
Some are within the comments - most have passed on though.
A glimpse into the lives of those of the day in a place in such despair - a remarkable documentary - pity more were not made of this type back then.
@@ATroubledLand what does that mean i asked waht had happned ro the people still living hear
@@patriciafeeney And I answered - Some of them are within the comments of this video and some have died its been so long.
sorry you are not makeing any sence some of them are within the commetns what deos that mean. who has died and what happened to there children
Yo my man sounding like Arnold Schwarzenegger if he stopped lifting weights
His accent is weird lol sounds like he's half human half computer 😆
One sided propaganda
