Great stuff here... Does anyone know the name of the film that the dramatised events come from ?

@Baconskank Most of it is taken from The Wind that Shakes the Barley. There were a few reconstructions though that there made specifically for this programme.

Gach bua don lucht oibre, an lá a tógainn na oibritheoirí armtha na sasanaigh amach agus an cumacht ón saibhir is é sin an lá a beidh miad saor, Béirígí Bua!
