Why this matters
The Troubles shaped lives, neighbourhoods, and families across Northern Ireland/The North, and the legacy is still here. Yet the deeper context is often reduced to headlines, stereotypes, or selective memory. ATL exists to preserve the record properly: the voices, the streets, the footage, and the uncomfortable detail that gets lost over time.
Your support keeps this work independent. It helps fund new films, archive restoration, travel, research, storage, and the time it takes to do this carefully and responsibly.
