The Irish Revolution - Season 1 Episode 3 The Spirit of Freedom
100 years ago… a small group of Irish rebels begin to imagine the impossible…
In the late twenties, Ireland is in the midst of war. Towns and villages have been devastated, house raids strike fear into the population and hundreds of Republicans have been arrested. Despite having tens of thousands of troops on the ground, much of the countryside becomes ungovernable for the British as rebels step up armed attacks.
