Moving Myths

Synopsis
A critical look at the Protestant and Catholic institutions in Ireland, revealing the experiences of people who have been brought up in those traditions but who now regard themselves as atheist. Stories range from that of the woman sacked as a youth worker in Sligo because she tried to empower the young people she worked with, to the Derry priest who left the church because he opposed its teaching on contraception; from the Belfast trade unionist whose brother died on a sectarian shooting, to the woman living in Belfast who had travel to England to have an abortion.
