Behind The Walls

1689. Derry. The city's largely Protestant inhabitants resist all attempts by
the Catholic King James's men to storm their gates. Outside, the Jacobite
soldiers resolve to starve the populace into submission ...

Inside the city, the Sherrard family are among those divided on whether to
risk the lives of their loved ones or surrender the city. Tensions run high and
the leaders argue. Mr Sherrard, the father of Robert and Daniel, starts to
waver, angering his oldest son, Robert, who was among the 13 boys who closed
the city gates in the face of the advancing Catholic army. Meanwhile Daniel,
the youngest Sherrard boy, also steps up to protect Derry. As the siege
lengthens and the two sides clash in battle, the heavy price of defying the
Catholic king becomes clear. People are starving, injured and diseased.
Bombardment rains down on the city. But the Derry people remain defiant. There
will be 'no surrender'.
