Celebrating 50 years of the Andersonstown News, Over The Wire takes a look at the stories covered by the paper over the years and impact that they had on the community of West Belfast.
A year after we launched Over The Wire, we are back with brand new stories and a brand new voice as Gráinne Ní Ghréachaín takes over from James McCarthy.

Recovering from rape
On 11th April 2008, film producer Winnie M Li was in Belfast for an event marking 10 years of the Good Friday Agreement.
The following day she decided to go for a hike in Colin Glen Forest Park when she fell victim to a violent rape perpetrated then 15-year-old Edward Connors.
After a lengthy period of healing, Winnie put pen to paper and wrote about her experience in a novel and has recently released her second book which deals with the issues arising from the Me Too movement.
Winnie joins James McCarthy to talk about her experience.
