5. Bernie McGill: Our Art

Available for over a year

Through hidden histories, untold stories and intimate perspectives, five more essayists reveal aspects of a Northern Ireland outsiders rarely get to hear about, but which each of these writers inhabits and intuitively understands. Growing up in a nationalist area when the Troubles were at their worst, author Bernie McGill was often told to be careful what she said. Strange then - or maybe not strange at all - that today Bernie makes a living out of words and is working with others finding their voices. Producer: Conor Garrett
