SCREENING AND Q&A
Join us for a special screening of the powerful BBC Northern Ireland Spotlight documentary, Blood on the Dance Floor. It describes how Darren Bradshaw, a gay police officer, was shot dead by a republican gunman in The Parliament Bar, a gay bar in Belfast, in 1997, and the impact of his killing and its circumstances. It also explores the experiences of the LGBT community in this period.
Building on the critically-acclaimed podcast of the same name, Blood On The Dance Floor broke new ground with television audiences on BBC Two and BBC Northern Ireland, as well with reviewers – the programme was lauded by the Daily Mail, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, The Times and the Radio Times.
This event coincides with Pride Week and will be followed by a Q&A with its creator, Jordan Dunbar, and with Producer/Director Paddy Fee – allowing us to discuss what’s involved in current affairs journalism, including the BBC podcast series on which this edition of Spotlight was based, as well as the challenges of turning a hit podcast into a TV documentary.
This screening has been made possible with assistance from BBC NI.
