The 1960s-70s are a time a lot of people have mixed memories of.
There were many dark days and nights throughout the era as the Troubles raged through Northern Ireland. No matter what community or area you grew up in, it was a frightening time full of loss and unrest.
Life was also significantly more difficult for women, the LGBTQ+ community, racial minorities and disabled people at this time. Society and politics lacked appreciation for, or tolerance of, difference in any form, creating traumatic experiences for many who would have (hopefully) received adequate support if they had grown up here today.
