A loyalist band marches into one of Belfast's most violent recent summers, and reporter Alys Harte follows them through it. The film centers on the Orange marching season, when bands parade in celebration of loyalist culture and history, and the sectarian flashpoints that follow, including petrol bombs thrown at police lines and residents boarding up their streets. Harte talks to band members who see the parades as tradition and identity, and to residents and community leaders who live with the annual return of rioting as an unwelcome routine. Interviews move between people trying to keep the peace, organizing patrols and mediating between crowds and police, and those inside the band culture defending the march as something worth the conflict it brings. The footage stays close to the street: burning barricades, riot police in formation, and the ordinary business of a city trying to function around them. It is less an outsider's shock at the violence than an attempt to show why, for Belfast, this cycle keeps repeating.
