All English should see this film!

I agree with many of those who have commented about this film - that the English - especially those born since the 1960s, are so ignorant on this topic. I grew up in a generation where the IRA were making headlines - most of my peers are completely oblivious to what came before. Having been to Ireland and fallen in love with it, I became interested in the history and also found this film. What completely amazes me is the warmth of the Irish people towards the English. I do not feel proud of our imperial past. Although ultimately the situation developed into a situation where horrific atrocities were committed on both sides, I feel my generation has no understanding of what caused the troubles in the first place! And I agree with one of the other user comments - the UK press/culture/education serve to keep it that way. I am sitting down with my two teenage sons to watch the film with them today. We should all have a better understanding of our heritage - whether we are proud of it or not.
