Deep in the countryside of County Fermanagh, surrounded on three sides by the Irish Republic, lies the border village of Roslea.
Until the 1950s it had neither tarred roads nor electricity. Now it has road blocks, tranquillisers and hidden arms too. No longer a community of poverty it is instead a community of fear. What is everyday life like in Roslea? How do Catholics and Protestants cope with the violence, and each other?
