A sympathetic look at Republicans in early 20th century Ireland, and two brothers who are torn apart by anti-Brit rebellion.
Synopsis
An impassioned and politically charged story of Ireland's fight for independence that seeks to reveal the “true underbelly” of Britain's colonial history. Damien (Murphy) joins his brother Teddy (Delaney) as a guerilla freedom fighter against the deadly British 'Black & Tan' units shipped over to halt the bid for liberation. After desperate fighting, both sides finally agree to a treaty, but not everyone agrees with its compromise and civil war erupts, ripping apart friends and families. Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival
