Fergal Keane talks to people who have taken risks and made sacrifices to stand up for what they believe in.

Catherine McCartney's brother Robert was allegedly killed by a group of IRA men following a disagreement in a bar in Belfast. When his family felt that they could not get justice for Robert's death in Northern Ireland, they took their campaign to the White House. They received death threats and were ostracised by the nationalist community in which they had grown up. Catherine talks to Fergal about why she feels that, although there is now peace in Northern Ireland, its communities are still as divided as ever.
