Ireland | 2011 | 60mins | Beta | Colour
Paradiso is a musical journey to capture the heyday of the Fountain estate, a disappearing protestant enclave in the heart of Derry. We follow musician Roy Arbuckle’s high risk efforts to stage a major music and dance event in the Memorial Hall by inviting formerly divided communities to celebrate the rock n’ roll and showband eras with people who desperately need to believe they are welcome in a majority nationalist city under the new vision for Northern Ireland.
