A fantastic, well made, moving biopics on one of the most important Irish republican socialists of the last fifty years.
From a Dublin perspective, it is worth going along just to see the amazing footage of anti- HBlock demonstrators on O’Connell St. in the early 1980s and the half depressing/half comic footage of republicans throwing chairs at each other at a meeting in the Mansion House called to build irish republican socialist unity. I think this meeting was held in the run up to the formation of the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP) in late 1974 but am not sure.

The footage of the fighting in the Mansion House comes from May 1970 I think. A meeting featuring Bernadette Devlin, Eamonn McCann, Conor Cruise O’Brien and others saw clashes between a section of the audience and some Maoists, according to This Week magazine, 22 May 1970. Looked pretty tasty (as Danny Dyer would say…)
