Belfast

The Academy Award train rolls onto Northern Ireland, as we discuss Kenneth Branagh's autobiographical boyhood film which won Best Original Screenplay. The man is more than a Shakespearean actor it seems. We are joined on our journey by a guest-friend-warrior-poet, Dan Canders. By virtue of his degree from the University of Notre Dame, he is a perfect expert on the topic people who happen to fight and are also Irish. We discuss: "The Troubles", other pieces of Irish cinema, childhood, and immigration.
