THE JACKETS GREEN "What are you fighting for?"
Armed simply with this question, Arthur Mac Caig goes to Northern Ireland to confront Irish Republicans. The result is an inside look at the ghettos of Belfast.
The first image is of a young man marching through the city streets. He is 20 years old, but very much a child. His face belies enormous tension, as does the tight grip on his rifle. His teeth are clenched in fear. Rita O'Hare, director of "Republican News," a nationalist weekly, was severely wounded by British soldiers. Later imprisoned for 3 years, she now lives in exile in the South of Ireland. Then there is Brendan Hughes, former IRA leader, who has spent 13 years in prison, conducted a 53 day hunger strike, and been tortured on several occasions. He says, "In the beginning when a soldier or a policeman had been killed, I was happy. But now I feel sadness. I don't wish the death of anyone, but here the only reality is war."
THE JACKETS GREEN calls no one to arms, but offers simple portraits of a few men and women most often represented as fanatical zealots. As they speak candidly about their cause, it becomes difficult to continue branding them as "terrorists."

    Greetings from NORTHErn italy

  • cancer...ha ha ha. god is good, scum bags. is this scratch and smell.....dirty cunts stink.

  • who owns this voice???????? a shoe from west belfast/Canada??

  • you get some fucking ugly woman in ireland. why dont they just go on the streets and everyone will fuck off

  • The 6 counties of ULSTER WILL ALWAYS REMAIN BRITISH. fgau.

  • Not the IRA's fault that southern Ireland wont defend it's self against the murderous Brits

  • @ALTEZZABUIR As long as the majority of the 6 counties are Unionist/Protestant, they're not your 6 counties to take - which will be always, by the Grace of God. If want to live in 'free' Ireland, nobody's stopping you to go south of the border. But wait, they don't even want the Catholics from the North, never mind the Prods. As long as the ROI is under the jackboot of the EU/IMF, the could never afford to take on another 6 counties anyway, and every Republican deep down knows this.

  • They're in 'someone else's' country because the majority in the 6 counties want to be part of that someone else's country, because that's the only way Protestants can survive on the island of Ireland, and not go the way of the Protestants in the south.

  • That is how the coward brits deal with death of ONE of theirs. They go to the nearest sporting event and start killing innocent bystanders. As long as one County in Eire is unfree, the whole country is. Ireland was the first country they tried to take over...its the last one they want to give up. Sinn fein go deo! Chaithfidh siad ag dul go dti ar ais chuig Sasana, anois!! Ar a bpointe boise.
