Shot over six weeks in December 1971, and January 1972, the film consisted of interviews with Protestants, Catholics, politicians, and some soldiers, combined with TV news clips of bombings and violence. The deaths of four individuals formed the central focus of the film, which OphĂŒls described as âan old, middle-aged, humanistic, social-democratic attempt to give people an idea that life after all is not that cheapâ. The BBC refused to transmit the completed film on the grounds that it was âtoo pro-Irishâ (Sunday Times, 5 Nov. 1972). (via http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/othelem/media/docs/freespeech.htm)
