Additional InformationSet in Cork, Ireland in 1920, Damien abandons a career as a doctor after seeing a friend of his murdered by a British soldier and joins his brother Teddy in an Irish Republican Army unit in order to defeat the occupying British force. After a violent struggle, the two sides agree a treaty to end the conflict. However, civil war erupts and families and friendships are stretched to the limit and Damien and Teddy find themselves on opposing sides as Damien views the treaty as a sell-out that fails to bring all of Ireland under Irish control. British director Ken Loach (KES, LAND AND FREEDOM) became the 59th winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes with this emotional drama about the Irish Civil War of the 1920s and the film features superb performances from a young Irish cast.
ReviewsThe Times - It's the most important and impressive film Loach has ever made, The Independent - A masterpiece

  • Ireland- a fight for freedom.

    It’s a true depiction of Ireland in the 1920s, the struggles, the separation of family. It’s not an easy watch so I wouldn’t call it entertaining. Superb acting. There are no happy endings.
