Betty Williams: Contagious Courage plot

This is the story of a young mother in Northern Ireland half a century ago, when she was long on the brink of civil war. Three children were murdered, after which hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, rioted and demanded that their country be changed. Then they took action themselves to make this happen. Using archival footage and interviews, this documentary shows how ordinary people can overcome their fears and how one person can make a difference in a violent and unpredictable world.
