The Prisons Memory Archive in the North of Ireland
How do you address the legacy of a conflicted past in a contested present? Can documentary film be used to contribute to a society emerging out of political violence?
With its 300 hours of audiovisual material, the Prisons Memory Archive is a unique source of first-hand experiences of 160 individuals - prison officers, prisoners, teachers, visitors, probation staff, solicitors, chaplains and teachers – which were recorded back at the empty prisons that operated during the conflict known as the Troubles.
