    A return to two families in Belfast MR HUGH [text removed] - Protestant: ' ... every day it's getting worse. The IRA is going further and further - the damage is more and more. There doesn'seem any solution to it. They are going to just try and pull the country down altogether, but they will never pull Ulster down-they have to kill us first before they get rid of us.' MRS NELLIE [text removed] - Catholic : 'I used to go shopping in the Shankill Road, but I wouldn'go there now. I would have the fear that I was going to meet somebody and they would point me out and anything could happen after that. This would be my fear, that it could happen.' Jim Douglas Henry and one film crew lived with a Catholic family. Harold Williamson and another crew lived with a Protestant family. With these two families, with their friends and relatives, it is possible to feel something of the tragedy that exists for ordinary people in Belfast. A year ago things were bad enough. The families filmed then had some hope for the future. Now, twelve months later, revisiting the same families, there is just despair and fear. Directors TOM CONWAY , TERENCE O'REILLY. Editors DESMOND WILCOX , BILL MORTON
