Video Information:
Second of a trilogy (with Too Long a Sacrifice, ITV, tx. 13/11/1984, and Rehearsals, Five, 2005) shot by Michael Grigsby during Northern Ireland's 'Troubles', The Silent War is not unique in concerning itself with the 'ordinary people' caught up in the conflict. But it stands out for its skilful and sensitive way it puts their voices at the very heart of the film. There is no commentary, except for a female voice reading a letter to an imagined character (a device probably borrowed from Humphrey Jennings' A Diary For Timothy, 1946). Otherwise, the film is made up of the faces and voices of Belfast people in natural settings, intercut with images and sounds of the conflict.

Very good documentary, its history and it has to be shown to everyone who wants peace in Northern Ireland. Generations to come will look back and see how people lived in a completely different world back then
