Chapter and Verse

Chapter and Verse is an experimental documentary that traces the image legacy of Northern Ireland's recent troubles through its contemporary landscapes. The camera roves with a fierce curiosity across the Orange Order Parades, the 11th Night Bonfires of Belfast, the wall paintings of Londonderry, empty border-lands, murder-sites, cemeteries, home interiors, and town and city streets, examining how the Troubles are both revealed and concealed by the Northern Irish landscape. Interviews with a spectrum of Northern Irish politicians, religious figures, and victims of the Troubles, including Rev. Ian Paisley and Bishop Emeritus of Derry Edward Daly, converge in a cinematic study of the complex legacies of Northern Ireland's conflict history suspended in language.
