Bernadette Devlin, John McGuffin and Tom McGurk, participants in the People's Democracy march, discuss the role of partition in the civil rights protests with Ernest Blythe and Peadar O'Donnell.

Bernadette Devlin describes the People's Democracy as a "non-political movement". However, she points out that this does not mean that supporters do not have political views. Devlin describes the make-up of the protestors as coming from both Republican and Unionist political backgrounds. She speaks about the inability of the police to protect the protestors on their arrival in Maghera.

They also discuss the role of the police, the army, and possible assistance from the United Nations. The report also covers the role of the government in the south of Ireland and the future of the People's Democracy movement.

Devlin states that "the people who are fighting are not interested in partition. What they are interested in is the cause of justice".
