The story of Ireland’s struggle for independence during the early decades of the 20th Century is brought vividly to life, with photographs and footage from the period shown not in black-and-white but in colour. Written by distinguished historian Professor Eunan O’Halpin, the first part of this two-part documentary examines the years leading up to the British general election of 1918. The gradual radicalisation of Nationalists and Unionists saw the island’s political landscape forever transformed. The old political order would be gradually overturned and its people divided, with devastating consequences. Part 1 of 2.

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 perspective, 1916 offers insights that broaden public understanding of the historical interconnections between Britain, Ireland and the United States - connections whose significance extends right up to the the recent Irish peace process. The film combines rarely seen archive material with contemporary filming all over the world, plus revealing interviews with leading experts and historians.
