Narrated by Allen Leech, this unique documentary tells the story of the Irish Easter Rising, why it happened and how it happened. Utilising incredible newly-colourised original footage, this film shows the Irish revolution as people at the time saw it – in colour. “Rendered in living colour, the terrors and triumphs of the era seem like something that only happened yesterday” – The Sunday Times.
Made in collaboration with Zampano Productions.
Written by distinguished historian, Professor Eunan O’Halpin.
