	When is it the right time to tell your story? When is society ready to hear the truth about what really happened during ‘the troubles’? What effect will the truth have on those who hear it and those who dare to speak it? This film chronicles the story of a unique and ground breaking form of theatrical performance called ‘Theatre of Witness’. This form of theatre gives voice to those who have been forgotten, marginalised or are invisible to wider society, helping them to deal with the ghosts that haunt their pasts. It offers heartbreak, hope, courage and healing to those involved but challenges all of us to see a different point of view. From standing ovations to the depths of grief for those lost, this film reflects on the very personal and inspirational stories of 7 people as they come to terms with their own legacy and that of their fathers, men who were all badly affected by over thirty years of conflict in Northern Ireland. The film will be followed by filmed interview excerpts and a panel discussion. We Carried Your Secrets was commissioned by The Playhouse as part of its Peace III funded Theatre of Witness Project. A PROJECT PARTIALLY SUPPORTED BY PEACE III PROGRAMME, MANAGED FOR THE SPECIAL EU PROGRAMMES BODY BY THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COUNCIL/ POBAL CONSORTIUM.
