Two partisan films taking opposite views about a controversial issue.
Peace in Northern Ireland will never be achieved without
British withdrawal.
Despite numerous peace initiatives, nearly 3,000 people have died in the Troubles in Northern Ireland over the last 20 years.
'Time to Go' is a petition campaign sponsored by 100 public figures, aimed at achieving serious consideration of the possibility that Britain could withdraw leaving a peaceful and stable settlement behind. Graham Reid , a Belfast-born playwright now living in London, finds the idea of British withdrawal offensive, absurd and a sure recipe for disaster. Both sides had editorial control over their films, subject to the current government restrictions on broadcasting concerning Northern Ireland.
