Generation Peace talks to those who have grown up in Derry since the 1998 Good Friday agreement, which brought The Troubles to an end after three decades of violent conflict. Brexit and the possibility of the reintroduction of a border in Ireland, however, jeopardise that uneasy peace.
The brilliant young people who are interviewed in the film thrive on community and creativity, and are committed to moving on from Northern Ireland’s divided past. That’s what Generation Peace is about: the power of hope, resilience and optimism.
