Screening on RTÉ One on Easter Sunday night, Walled City Passion is a dynamic reimagining of the story of the Passion set along Derry City's historic walls - exploring how a violent incident threatens to throw the world into turmoil - and bringing the Easter story to life through the prism of a live rolling news show.
Walled City Passion is also a 3-day festival running in Derry from 14-16 April - the event was launched last week with 700 Derry school children and young people singing the city's unofficial anthem, Teenage Kicks by The Undertones. Watch above...
The spirited performance received the official seal of approval from Undertones vocalist Feargal Sharkey:
Yep, Derry has clearly still got it, what a fantastic job and what an extraordinary thing to have done. Utterly brilliant.

And yes those are young people in Derry speaking Irish. Obair mhaith agus go raibh maith agat.https://t.co/QEKMJZofUS
