Beyond the Troubles: What 'Skintown' Reveals About Coming of Age in Northern Ireland The upcoming film Skintown is set during the 1994 IRA ceasefire in Northern Ireland, a time period marked by great upheaval.
While its nostalgic aesthetic and soundtrack may evoke memories of the past, Skintown offers more than just a period piece or a look at Northern Ireland's turbulent history.
According to the creators, their goal was not to make a film about the Troubles but rather one that explores how people try to live their lives despite the chaos around them.
