The Irish Civil War on film

(Recorded at the Irish Film Institute on Wed 11 Oct ’23 as part of the Dublin Festival of History)

Listen to History Ireland editor Tommy Graham for a lively and interactive discussion on how the Irish Civil War was depicted on film, both at the time (newsreels) and subsequently (Michael Collins, The Wind that Shakes the Barley and other films), and how this has affected our understanding of the period—with Ciara Chambers, Dennis Condon, Brian Hanley and Kevin Rockett.
