UK - Belfast - Republican hunger strikers' graves

A Loyalist wall and rubbish-strewn wasteground shows the dereliction of 1990s Belfast, northern Ireland. Rubbish and missing brickwork tell us of a city a decade after the Troubles when protestant fought catholic causes, a clash of religion and ideology with poor investment by a London-based government.
