Leap of Faith, A

• 1996 ----- color ----- 87 min ----- vhs
• Politics and terrorism have failed to secure peace for Northern Ireland. Now four heroic families in Belfast band together to create a school that integrates their own Catholic and Protestant children. Using archival sections which dramatically but objectively explain the conflict, this program integrates a history of Ireland's "troubles" with a story of hope Despite 62 explosions and 40 deaths during the first four months, the school is able to celebrate its first anniversary, proving that peace is not only possible, but inevitable.
• Topics: (British Isles, Education, Family Life, History: British, Political Science: British, Religions: Christian)
