Northern life in the Gael Linn newsreel. In 1959, a weekly cinema newsreel was launched by Gael Linn in Irish. In a time before RTE, Amharc Eireann was the only source of local news with moving pictures. Shown in cinemas across the republic for five years, it reported on all aspects of Irish life, both North and South. But these newsreels were never shown north of the Border. Now, in this four part series, we follow this record of events, revealing a fascinating account of Northern life before the troubles, and of the relationships that existed between North and South.
