How did marches, riots and growing sectarian tensions push Ulster towards conflict in 1969? What did it really mean to be a Catholic in Northern Ireland, and how far back did the divisions behind the Troubles really go? Join Dominic and Tom as they explore the origins and escalation of one of the darkest and most contentious periods of British history, from the civil rights movement and the violence on the streets of Belfast and Derry, to the intervention of the British Army.
