This Sh*t Happens All the Time

This is a true story about falling in love, about tummy flips, and hearts skipping beats. But what if your loving relationship happened at a time when society wasn’t ready for your happiness? This is the story of what happens when a young woman falls in love, and when her girlfriend’s jealous ex-boyfriend responds with murderous intent. Set in 1990s Belfast, This Sh*t Happens All the Time uses personal experience of homophobia, misogyny, and coercive control to ask why the full protections granted to most of society still remain a challenge for Northern Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community.Studio
