In 1993, a young alternative rock band was touring England. The lead vocalist, passed through a town near Liverpool which had been the site of a brutal bombing. Moved by the death of two people, she penned a stream of conciousness song which went onto become their biggest hit worldwide, and amassed 1 billion views on YouTube as of today. In 2018, Netflix debuts a teenage drama set in the early 1990's which has a healthy dose of dark humor, and the show goes onto acquire a cult following. But what possibly connects the two? This week, in the ninth episode of the series, Ireland Untravelled, we discover the story of the decade long conflict in Northern Ireland, The Troubles, its worldwide cultural impact, and the ability of art to heal us.
