For generations, this story was buried beneath grief, betrayal, and exile. Ireland, 1920 — the War of Independence rages, but the battlefield is not only hedgerows and ambush sites. It is the streets, the homes, the fragile rhythm of daily life. Britain unleashes new forces: the Black and Tans and the Auxiliaries. Their mission is intimidation. Their weapon is terror. From Cork’s burning city center to raids on families, shops looted, and homes destroyed, civilians bear the cost of rebellion. Diaries speak of sleepless nights, of children trembling at footsteps, of families praying to be spared. In the twilight of Ireland’s past, this tale of Gaelic heritage, honor, and revenge reveals how the Black and Tans scarred a generation and yet strengthened resistance.
Every episode uncovers the legends, lore, and truths that shaped this island. Discover tales of warriors, poets, rebels, and spirits — stories passed down through centuries and reborn through film and narration. The Black and Tans stand as haunting figures in Ireland’s ghosts, where freedom was fought in kitchens, in streets, and in the hearts of families.
