At a time when society is more diverse, more complex and more divided than ever before, the Year of Beliefs will explore the multiple expressions of faith and belief in Britain, and look at how our ethics and values shape our everyday life and personal choices.
The Year of Beliefs 2019 will bring Religion and Ethics programming to as wide an audience as possible, airing ambitious landmark series with privileged access, powerful documentaries highlighting big moral questions, spiritual journeys of self-discovery and thought-provoking discussions and debates.

This is the red kite which accidentally drowned in Jeremy’s pond and which has been hanging in his vegetable garden – as a deterrent to other red kites – and drying out, in order that the skull may be saved for a friend to use for a sculpture.

Catherine Foley, author and broadcaster, tells the story of a feature film, once a cause celebre, now mostly forgotten. The film, Langrishe, Go Down, starring young actors Judi Dench and Jeremy Irons, both later to have stellar film careers, was shot at various locations in south Kilkenny in 1978. The screenplay was by Harold Pinter, based on Aidan Higgins’ acclaimed novel of the same title. Funding for the production came from the BBC and with support from RTÉ. On release, the film was banned by the Irish Film Censor who took exception to some scenes of nudity. As a result, it was never screened in Ireland.
Last year at the local cultural festival, Éigse Sliabh Rua 2014, the film was screened in Ireland for the first time in the village where it was originally shot. The reactions of those present at the gala screening 35 years later are seen in this new documentary. Jeremy Irons, who was present to view the film and talk to friends and fans afterwards, says that the part he played in Langrishe, Go Down was his first big break into films.
