Summary
Three-part series of groundbreaking encounters between victims and perpetrators from Northern Ireland's conflict, brokered by Archbishop Desmond Tutu : 1. A former army officer meets the sister of a man he shot dead in Belfast in 1971, and an ex-policeman from Southampton meets a former IRA man who shot him. ------ 2. An ex-police officer who lost both his arms in an IRA attack meets a former IRA man convicted of murdering soldiers. A family meets a former member of the loyalist organisation which murdered their son in a drive-by shooting. A widow and a survivor from the IRA bombing at Narrow Water in which 18 soldiers died meet a former IRA man who killed an SAS officer. ------- 3. Milltown cemetery killer Michael Stone meets the family of a man he murdered. In a highly emotional encounter, Sylvia Hackett rejects Stone's claims that her husband was a member of the IRA
