Stories of Unsung Heroism

Join us for the screening of three short films that tell the stories of Unsung Cork Heroes, the courage they showed and the sacrifices they made in the struggle for Irish Freedom.

"The Hegartys of The Laurels" tells the story of the Hegarty family from Pouladuff .

Their story is one of courage, survival and reconciliation amidst the turmoil of two wars as Ireland struggled to break free from centuries of British rule.

"Engagement & Endurance" focuses on the women of Cork and how they engaged in the struggle for freedom and strove to achieve a better life for their families and communities.

Many thanks to St Peters Cork for sharing their film with us.

"My Unsung Hero" sheds light on Joe Murphy, a man from Togher, who sacrificed his life on a hunger strike for fair trials.
