Mother Brings Her Son To Be Shot ("The Troubles" Documentary)

Majella O'Donnell took her teenage son Philly to be shot in both legs. Majella, Philly, and his shooters all live within an extraordinary community in Derry, Northern Ireland. 'The Troubles' officially ended in 1998, but tensions flared into violence in the late 1960s, leaving some 3,600 people dead and more than 30,000 injured. They do not accept the government or police. All this happens within the jurisdiction of the UK. How do you bring your son to be shot? What happens afterwards? How does family life continue? How does a community respond? When do wars really end? For five years, Sinéad O'Shea has filmed this shocking portrait of a post-conflict society. Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have.
