Borders across the world are often contentious places where differences between people are focused and concentrated making them difficult places to live and prosper. The land border between the Republic of Ireland and the UK is one of these contentious borders. Pettigo is a small village in the Northwest of Ireland divided in half by this border and over the years has known its fair share of The Troubles. However, despite these conflicts the people of Pettigo, both Unionist and Nationalist, have continued ot cooperate and work together. This documentary, "Triang Times" focuses on the lives of two such people, one Unionist and one Nationalist, wo have spent a lifetime stepping outside their cultural boundaries to build a better place to live.
