1916 The Irish Rebellion

Narrated by Liam Neeson, this landmark documentary tells the dramatic story of the events that took place in Dublin during Easter Week 1916, when a small group of Irish rebels took on the might of the British Empire. The documentary features a combination of rarely seen archival footage, new segments filmed on location worldwide, and interviews with leading international experts. Although defeated militarily, the men and women of the Easter Rising would wring a moral victory from the jaws of defeat and inspire freedom struggles throughout the world – from Ireland to India.

An initiative of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame, this documentary tells the story of the 1916 Easter Rising in a comprehensive way and places these events in their proper historical, political and cultural context as the precursor to an independent Irish state and the disintegration of colonial empires worldwide.
