Stephen Nolan Ulster-Scots, My Family & Me
As Stephen Nolan explores his family roots, discovering where his people came from and how they lived, he uncovers profound stories of hardship, and poverty.
Northern Ireland is a country obsessed by identity. On his radio show, Stephen Nolan frequently encounters this first-hand; British, Irish, European, Ulster Scots, Northern Irish. Some identities seem to merge and shift while others remain constant, yet Stephen is unsure of his own. Stephen recognises himself as coming from a Protestant background but beyond a vague general feeling of 'Britishness' he has never taken much heed, nor really cared.
In this film, as Stephen looks into his own family history, he re-evaluates the importance of his own identity and learns the surprising truth about his roots.
