On the event of the retirement of Professor Cahal McLaughlin from Queen's University Belfast, the CDR is proud to present a screening of his 2015 film Armagh Stories, which is one output from the extensive and groundbreaking Prisons Memory Archive
This documentary film tells the stories of some of those who passed through the gates of Armagh Gaol, the mainly female prison that operated during the conflict in Northern Ireland / the North of Ireland. Using protocols of co-ownership, inclusivity and life-storytelling, the film includes prison staff, prisoners, teachers, a solicitor, doctor and chaplain. The film has been screened internationally and locally, where it has been used by community groups to facilitate discussions on how to address the legacy of a violent past.
Followed by a conversation with the filmmaker and Q&A moderated by Dr Laura Aguiar
Screening at 3:30, Queen's Film Theatre Screen 2, followed by Q&A and drinks reception
