SBS - The Coasts of Ireland (2014) Part 5 Belfast and the North

The Coasts Of Ireland

Beautiful landscapes, living tradition and welcoming people - this is Ireland. One thousand miles of impressive cliffs, natural beauty and long-living traditions. The massive waters of the Atlantic thunderously surge against the rocks of the Irish coast - the cliffs being amongst the highest in Europe. Take a journey around this green island, and through numerous encounters with typical and atypical islanders, also get to know Ireland from the perspective of the Irish and discover how well the Irish integrate their ancestry into modern day living. This five-part series portrays the wide variety of landscapes and culture, from the traditional pubs in Dublin to the philanthropic dolphin of Dingle, from the intelligent Connemara horses and Rathlin's sailboat carvers to the sorely afflicted city of Belfast.

Part 5 Belfast and the North

For centuries Northern Ireland has been the scene of bloody battles. Nearly all residents of Northern Ireland have a personal relationship with the conflict between Catholic Republicans and Protestant Loyalists. But the north of Ireland offers much more than separation and street battles. Along the impressive cliffs rare birds can be seen and one can climb the enigmatic Giant's Causeway. In the back country we meet people who pursue unique activities. And in Northern Ireland's capital Belfast the wounds of the “troubles” are gradually beginning to heal. Belfast with its impressive seaport, lively city life and modern architecture is one of the most exciting cities in Europe.
