The first programme focuses on Rose Dugdale who was born into an aristocratic English family but rejected her family's wealth and became involved in militant politics as a young woman. Arriving in Belfast in the early 1970s she joined an IRA active service unit operating along the border. She was imprisoned in 1974 for a botched bombing attempt in Strabane and an audacious art theft at Russborough House, Co. Wicklow. After her release, she continued to be involved in left wing politics and Sinn Féin, including the H-Block protests and the concerned parent's movement.
