A picturesque vision of Northern Ireland, filmed twenty years before the Troubles.

In the years between partition and the Troubles, Northern Ireland was, to most outsiders, an obscure backwater: out of sight, out of mind. This piece, commissioned by the province's government through the UK Central Office of Information, is an intriguing attempt to use film to boost its image. It extolls a picturesque landscape and proud people, and talks up local industries: linen, wool and leather, Belfast shipbuilding and Beleek pottery.

A picture of post-war Ulster, industries, people, scenery and way of life.
