William Craig

A forgotten history of Northern Ireland is unveiled through a journey into Ulster Television’s archives, and the rediscovery of the first locally-produced network drama, Boatman Do Not Tarry.

Filmmaker Colm Laverty looks at the story of Craigavon, a new city developed in line with the movement towards high-tech commmunal living. This film blends archive footage and contemporary interviews to tell the story of the Craigavon New City project and reflect on the hopes, complexities, and legacy of the project sixty years on.
