Eimear O'Callaghan was just sixteen-years-old in 1972 - the bloodiest year of the Northern Ireland troubles.

Like many girls her age, Eimear kept a diary where she detailed the horror of living through a civil war.

Fast forward 40 years and Eimear rediscovered her diary, sending her on a difficult journey through her dark and troubled past. I spoke to her earlier and asked her when did she rediscover her diary.
