However\, Brexit has reopened a wound that many thought was healed\, casting uncertainty on the future of this hard-won peace. \n  \nDIRECTED BY RORY DUFFY\nRory Duffy is an award winning documentary filmmaker\, and adjunct professor of United States history at City College of New York. As an actor\, Rory has had recurring roles on Blue Bloods\, Law and Order SVU\, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. His masters thesis on the John F. Kennedy Administration won the Judith Stein Prize in Political Economy. \nOn stage and screen\, he has worked with director Hal Hartley\, Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons\, and Amy Sherman-Palladino. \nHis production company Maci Duffy Productions\, which he co-runs with his wife Hyun Joo Lee\, produces films with a concentration on history\, politics\, and art. \n  \n\nTHE SUBJECTS:\nDAMIAN MCGENITY \nPolitical Activist and Farmer \nDamian McGenity is a political activist and farmer who faces financial ruin due to Brexit. A supporter of peace in Northern Ireland\, Damian joined Border Communities Against Brexit to maintain the peace and save his family farm. \n  \nMARTINA ANDERSON \nPolitician and former combatant \nMartina Anderson is an Irish politician from Northern Ireland. She became involved in the Irish Republican movement in the late 1970s and is a former IRA volunteer. \nIn June 1986\, she was convicted of conspiring to cause explosions and sentenced to life in prison.
