Irish Mancunian presents a screening of the award-winning film "The Wind That Shakes The Barley".
Director Ken Loach explores Ireland’s War of Independence and Civil War through the figure of young revolutionary Damien O’Donovan (played by Cillian Murphy). Abandoning his career as a doctor, Damien comes home to Cork and joins his brother Teddy in the fight against the British Empire. When The Treaty is negotiated and Civil War erupts, Damien is torn between family and his political commitments. A deserved Palme d’Or winner at Cannes, the film caused uproar in the British press on its release in 2006.
PLUS:
• REMEMBERING THE MANCHESTER MARTYRS: a presentation telling the story of the execution of three Irishmen in November 1867. You'll hear The Fenian Proclamation; Michael Larkin's final message; Anthony Glynn's description of the dismal dawn; and James Connolly's insights in 'Why Do We Honour Them?'. You can also sing along to Fenian songs: 'Bold Fenian Men'; 'The Smashing of the Van'; 'Down by the Glenside' and 'God Save Ireland'.
• Book launch of the new Irish Mancunian publication “Manchester and the Irish Revolution”
• Book Stall • T-shirts • Bar/refreshments • Free raffle
