Come join us at 7pm on Wednesday 18 September for the screening of two thought-provoking films on the impact of political turmoil on childhood.
Letter to Lia (2022)is a creative rumination on the identity of children growing up in a changing Northern Ireland from the starting point of the filmmaker’s own daughter, Lia who was born into a post-conflict society in the middle of a global pandemic. What does the conflict mean to the immigrants who’ve chosen to make their lives in Northern Ireland? And as Covid slowly recedes, what will the long-term effects be for those born during the pandemic?
