Summary

Sergeant Joe Campbell was a Catholic RUC officer who was well respected by the people he looked after in the small seaside village of Cushendall up in the Glens of Antrim. At the time, the RUC was an overwhelmingly Protestant police force and Joe knew that there were some in the organisation who didn't want a Catholic working in their midst. In 1977 Joe was killed by loyalists and in this episode his son, Joe Campbell Junior, talks about his father and the 33-year quest for justice.
