In this video, extracts from A Terrible Beauty… are intercut with commentary from the Producer Dave Farrell and Director Keith Farrell giving an insight into how the story evolved.

The very real drama that played out on the streets of Dublin during the Easter Rising of 1916 is captured using the first hand account of the Rebel, British soldier and civilian giving a fresh perspective on this key event in Irish History. By focussing on the two most ferocious battles of Easter Week 1916, Mount Street and North King Street the viewer is brought to the centre of what was happening to experience the heroism of the doomed and the tragedy that befell the ordinary people of Dublin. The focus is also very much on the ‘foot soldiers’ on both sides and the civilians caught in the middle.
