After the Bomb

After the Bomb focuses on two women permanently disabled as adults by violence in Northern Ireland in the period known as the Troubles. It tells the story of their ultimately successful campaign along with others to secure substantive government assistance to people injured like themselves. At the same time, the film documents the unique support they have come along the way to provide each other.

Made by Heather Brumley, SADC produced audio description for the film, which premiered on July 14, 2024 and shared the Best Short Documentary Award at the 36th Galway Film Fleadh in Ireland. The film features the facility in Northern Ireland where the women met and their campaign began: WAVE Trauma Centre.

Audio description led by Cheryl Green. Written by Oliver Baker. Blind QC by Robert Kingett. Audio edited by Thomas Reid. Narration by Paula Burns, an AD narrator from Northern Ireland who the SADC specially subcontracted for this project.
