Synopsis

TITANIC TOWN shows the struggle of a Catholic mother of four Bernie McPhelimy (Julie Walters), who worried about the violence around her and for the safety of her children and others, speaks out about the violence on the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland that escalated in the early 1970s. Her stand causes her own neighbours to turn against her and her family, but media attention to her voice brings attention and support from British politicians and the IRA.
