Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland is a gripping documentary about The Troubles, the conflict in Northern Ireland between Catholics and Protestants. The series tells the story from the perspective of people who experienced it themselves, such as former combatants, victims and relatives.

An important aspect of the documentary is the role of the British government, especially under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Her tough approach, such as refusing to allow Irish republican prisoners to go on hunger strike in the 1980s, caused even more tension and radicalisation. This is well shown in the series through the stories of those involved.

What makes the documentary so strong is that it is not just about political decisions and violent events, but especially about the people who experienced this up close. The combination of old images and emotional interviews makes it a compelling and compelling whole.

A gripping documentary that reveals the complexity and human side of this conflict in a compelling way. Definitely worth watching!
