Betty Williams: Contagious Courage
The life story of Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Betty Williams of Ireland
The Project
Contagious Courage is a feature documentary by PeaceJam Films that tells the story of Betty Williams from Northern Ireland and her lifelong fight for the rights of women and children. It premiered at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in June 2018.
Contagious Courage is story of a young mother living in Northern Ireland fifty years ago, as her country teetered on the brink of civil war. The film tells the tale of a quiet revolution, requiring tremendous courage, that began when three little children were killed. Hundreds of thousands of people, mainly women, rose up to demand that their country change, and then took the concrete action necessary to create that change, themselves. With never-before-seen footage and behind the scenes interviews, the film illustrates how average people can overcome their fear, and how one person can make a difference in a violent and unpredictable world.
