Trailer of new documentary, The Hardest Bridge.

For over 25 years, Jo Berry and Pat Magee have been building an extraordinary partnership rooted in dialogue, accountability, and reconciliation. Their story—once defined by the tragic events of the 1984 Brighton bombing—has evolved into a powerful example of what is possible when individuals choose understanding over hatred. Their journey is now captured in the new documentary The Hardest Bridge, which explores the courage it takes to confront the past and work toward peace.

Today, Jo and Pat continue to speak together around the world, sharing their message that even the deepest divisions can be bridged.Their message is both urgent and hopeful: that even after the deepest harm, dialogue is possible; that understanding does not erase the past but can transform its legacy; and that peace is not an abstract idea, but something built—patiently, bravely, and together.
