The Beginning - 1969 - Lost Tape Interviews - Troubles History (Headphones Required) 

This film shows the Northern people as they truly were and are! The young lady speaks like we are in the South. I hope she had a happy life as them all. Faulker, Paisley, the B specials and a few fire brands. The few extremists at the top caused this breeding hate. If only when the British army came they and brought in direct rule.! Stopping Faulker and Paisley using the army for their own political army.

just want to say, hold fast, we'll be here when the 44 days is up

The music was excellent. What was the opening piece? 👏👍👌

So many lives destroyed. Turned upside-down. Kids growing up without fathers or mothers or both... So much pain still here and stories untold. A cruel reality K.

@@ATroubledLand Such heartbreak for such a beautiful country with terrific people 💚

@@ATLmodK 💯% I couldn`t agree more with you 👍👍

It was yer British army terrorists going in they could have fought it out amoung each other

This couple appear very nice but im sorry to say they had no idea what was going on ! British govn was behind most acts of terror Catholics were denied their human rights under the British govn all catholics wanted a united Ireland but were met with hostility from RUC whose loyaltys lay to Paisley and British they were no better than Black and tans Special Branch acted under cover and imo created chaos !!

Thank you though I am just the presenter, the awards go to those creating these. Actually I made the first 7 minutes of this video but yeah no biggy friend, appreciate the comment :)

Agreed this is honest and not biased !

Great point ! If you read the history of the English monarchy it is nothing but a litany of power grabs, land grabs, sexual concubines and if you had to murder your nearest relatives to gain it, so be it. The English higher archy are the most loathsome set of humans in history . They gave us Northern Ireland, Israel, India v Pakistan, the slave trade etc. Greed is their mantra.

Well it is defo an early video so will be amongst the archives VHS tapes which I am soon to start working through, so keep an eye out. Sounds a real interesting one too. If you can find any more info out could help me look around for it.

These people had great foresight. They could see what was coming. The terrible thing is thousands died and the City is more divided.Walls and Walls. Catholics were second class citizens and Paisley had plenty of blood on his hands for encouraging mob rule. Fast forward to today and both sides would say the same thing. What a great program.Thanks for sharing.🇮🇪

@@ATroubledLand Great. Today i will gather what info i can and post later.

@@ATroubledLand It really would be some scoop to find it as we all left Belfast for good in late 72, it broke my mothers heart leaving shes never recovered, it would be very special if it was able to be located. It was 40 Kashmir Rd, surname Angus, family of 3 boys 2 girls, 14 the eldest, i'll be the one in the pushchair. We were selected as a suitable family to appear in the film, as my 87 yr old mother said earlier, by the boys who stood out on the corner, when i pressed her who exactly, she said, with her back slightly stiffening and the aversion of my gaze, 'just the boys on the barricades, we don't talk about things like that', it made me chuckle. So it features the family getting up for school, then my mother walks to the butchers on springfield rd, before going to mass in the Clonard Monastry with myself. Cameras never went into mass but were there afterwards to go back to 40 Kashmir when i think my father makes a brief appearance back from work for his lunch. My father was an ex English soldier, who from the early fifties lived and brought up his family in west belfast, ie Ballymurphy before moving into my grandma's family home on Kashmir rd, and he was so very much a trusted part of the community. No one knows if this film was ever shown anywhere. We are pretty sure It was done before the august internment but defo after March, narrowing it down to those months, we think, memory can be a fallible device. I cant think of much else that could help you identify the film? but i truly hope it exists it would be marvellous to see it. We can hope. Thanks. C.

​@JimboBond71 It might be 'A Sense of Loss' (1972) which is available elsewhere on RU-vid. I'm probably wrong but it may be worth a try.

They werent all like that though. And the IRA were a minority in the catholic community

Everything goes to Patreon several days at least before RU-vid anyway :) Thanks chum :)

Its not, it is a dispute between settlers and indigenous people. Religion is only used to identify them.

Nothing to do with religion as the people werent divided along theological grounds. It was nationalism pure and simple. British and Irish squabbling over a part of Ireland

It wasn't it was the plantation of Ulster. 😉

@Dowdall, the second plantation is well underway.
