LIVE FROM BORDERLANDS - Kathleen Gillespie & Anne Walker

Live from Belfast in June 2022, Borderlands is a monthly event of music, activism, community and reflection, at the intersection of art, justice, reconciliation and faith.

Kathleen Gillespie was held at gunpoint while her husband was turned into a human bomb by the IRA in a horrific attack on the British army on 24 October 1990. Anne Walker was in the IRA until leaving and finding her way years later into a peace building workshop that involved telling real stories. Through that she met Kathleen and the two became great friends despite their very different pasts. Today they tell their stories all over, inspiring people to be agents of peace and change in the world. This event was held on the annual Day of Reflection where all communities are encouraged to remember together the pain of the Troubles.
