The Day Warrington Fell Silent... (Warrington Bombing)

Описание: On March 20, 1993, two explosions on Bridge Street changed the town of Warrington forever. But to understand the "roar" of that day, we have to look back at a century of history—from the 1916 Easter Rising to the height of the IRA’s mainland campaign in the 1990s.

In this documentary, we explore the deep-rooted history of the conflict, the devastating impact of the attack on Mothering Sunday weekend, and how the loss of two young boys, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry, became a turning point for peace in the UK and Ireland.
