Rihanna Video filmed in Belfast

Just before beginning her tour at the Odyssey complex in Belfast, Rihanna spent a few days in the greater Belfast area filming her new video for "We Found Love". The video takes place at the New Lodge Road apartment blocks as well as in a government officials farm field in Bangor (just east of Belfast). Her arrival in Belfast basically shut areas of the city down during her three days of filming and the day of her concert.

Not sure if she thought through the video this far, but I found it interesting that she would choose such a troubled place to find love in her video about "finding love in a hopeless place". The New Lodge area was a notoriously working class, catholic part of town during the Troubles and the apartment blocks in this video are topped with signs from the infamous hunger strike victims of 1981.

Here she talks about the making of her video while she's in the field in Bangor.
