Synopsis
Production Team

Ireland is on the brink of catastrophe.

 

In 1998, the Good Friday Agreement was signed, putting an end to the thirty-year conflict known as The Troubles, and ushering in springtime of peace. A peace that is now threatened by the specter of Brexit.

On Jan. 31st, 2020, The United Kingdom officially left the European Union, taking Northern Ireland with it. But by default, The Republic of Ireland is now being drawn into Brexit's future financial and political consequences. 

The same day, a dissident Irish organization placed a bomb on a ferry, bound for the UK.

A Fragile Peace: Inside Brexit and Belfast follows four people from Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom as they navigate this uncertain time.
