In this heartwarming programme, Stephen Walker encounters four women and one man born in 1921: Aileen Pollock, Martin Charters, Isobel Lavery, Eileen Sweeney and Mairead Liddy. Through conversations with them, he discovers how they all witnessed great social, economic and political change over the decades.
With its stories of childhood, the world of work, the life-changing impact of war and of love and marriage, The First Generation is a timely reminder of the challenges this generation faced across the decades - and what we can learn from their long lives.
