Is Belfast over its Troubles? | Growing up in Northern Ireland

For around thirty years, Belfast was shaken by The Troubles: an armed conflict between the Irish and British communities of Northern Ireland.

25 years after the Good Friday Agreement, which ended most of the violence, these divisions live on in people's minds and in the city's architecture, where catholic and protestant districts are still divided by walls and gates.

We met Catherine, 24, an Irish nationalist, and Joel, 22, a British-Irish unionist, who told us how they live with the legacy of the Troubles today.
