We were also shown a screening of the film ''71' which is set in Northern Ireland and tells the story of a British soldier who becomes separated from his unit during a riot in Belfast at the height of the period called the Troubles in 1971. It was actually funded by the BFI as well and was nominated for numerous awards:
Overall, although very graphic, I enjoyed the film. I decided that it fell under the social realism category as it exposed the harsh reality of the Troubles as well as the dark side to the lives of the people stuck in the conflict and catharsis.
