DVDs and BluRay
"Narrated by acclaimed actor and Irish native Liam Neeson, the series 1916 commemorates the 100th anniversary of this seminal event that led to the establishment of an independent Irish State and, indirectly, to the breakup of the British Empire. On Easter Monay 1916, a small group of Irish rebels - including poets, teachers, actors, and workers - took on the might of the British Empire. Although defeated militarily, the men and women of the Easter Rising would soon win a moral victory - with their actions leading to the creation of an independent Irish State and contributing to the eventual disintegration of the British Empire. They have inspired countless freedom struggles throughout the world - from Ireland to India"--Container.
