The Irish

Rebellion

A Presentation of

Narrated by Liam Neeson, this landmark documentary examines the

Easter Rising and the subsequent events that led to the creation of an

independent Irish state and, indirectly, to the start of the breakup of

the British Empire. Looking at the Rising from an international perspec-

tive, 1916 - The Irish Rebellion will broaden public understanding of the

historical interconnections between Britain, Ireland and the United

States, connections that continued to have significance up to and in-

cluding the recent Irish peace process. The documentary combines

rarely seen archives with contemporary filming all over the world, to-

gether with revealing interviews by the world’s leading experts and

historians. An initiative of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Stud-

ies at the University of Notre Dame, this landmark three part documen-

tary series tells the story of the 1916 Easter Rising in a comprehensive

way and, for the first time, places these events in their proper histori-

cal, political and cultural context as the precursor to an independent

Irish state and the disintegration of colonial empires.
