Description

New documentary "Bobby Sands: 66 Days" goes on general release today, and its maker Brendan J Byrne is in studio with Hugh Linehan and Fintan O'Toole to talk about how his film challenges the easy narratives surrounding the hunger striker - to the displeasure of some.

Also in studio is Henrietta Norton, whose documentary Born and Reared examines the lives of men and the lingering effects of conflict in communities in Northern Ireland.
