Art of Conflict: The Murals of Northern Ireland(2012)

Art of Conflict: The Murals of Northern Ireland is a documentary that explores the powerful street art born from decades of sectarian violence. The film examines Northern Ireland's iconic murals through the eyes of the artists who create them and the communities they inhabit. These works serve as visual records of political struggle, cultural identity, and collective memory—transforming walls into statements of resistance and remembrance. By documenting the painters' motivations and the murals' evolving role in society, the film investigates how street art functions as both historical testimony and tool for social change. It asks whether these murals will endure as cultural landmarks or fade as the region moves toward reconciliation.
