More than 15 years ago, the Good Friday Agreement came into force - bringing an end to three decades of violence in Northern Ireland.

At the heart of the peace process is a commitment to bring truth and justice to the bereaved. But many families say they're still waiting.

The peace process also promised to bring Protestants and Catholics closer together. But, in some communities still divided by peace walls, there remains a deep mistrust of their neighbours.

Producer: David Lewis.
