	POLICING AND THE PEOPLE Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. Article 3 – Universal Declaration on Human Rights 1948 In association with the Policing Programme at CAJ and the School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work at Queen’s University Belfast, this film strand explores the human consequences of stat security, including the impact of implementing security policy on the police themselves, Through documentaries in three profoundly different contexts a people- centred view of fear, vulnerability and insecurity emerges that challenges the traditional notion of social stability achieved through national security. In Northern ireland the complexity involved in maintaining public order is explored in The Fuse of Peace which focuses on the events surrounding the Ardoyne Parade in 2009. Further afield the stark realities of policing at the front line of the war against the Taliban are explored in The Survivors- Days ion Zhari Police Station. Finally, the unforeseen social consequences of U.S and Mexican border security are examined in The Fence. The Fuse of Peace This documentary focuses on the disturbances that occurred in North Belfast during the 13th of July Orange Parade through the predominately nationalist area of Ardoyne. Through diverse community-based perspectives the film captures the complexity of public order policing in the wake of the Northern Ireland Parades Commission’s decision to allow the Orange Order to march. Panel Discussion: The Festival and CAJ will host a panel discussion featuring Junior Minister Gerry Kelly (SF) and Chief Superintendent Mark Hamilton, District Commander ‘A’ District (North & West Belfast), PSNI to discuss the lead up to and events surrounding the Ardoyne Parade.
