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.
