The Jackets' Green

"What are you fighting for?" Armed simply with this question, Arthur MacCaig goes to Northern Ireland to confront Irish Republicans. The result is an inside look at the ghettos of Belfast. The Jackets' Green calls no one to arms, but offers simple portraits of a few men and women most often represented as fanatical zealots. As they speak candidly about their cause, it becomes difficult to continue branding them as "terrorists."
