The Irish Revolution | We Lived in Dreams (Episode 1)

A 2019 RTE History Documentary written and directed by Ruán Magan, narrated by Cillian Murphy.

Marking the centenary of the Irish War of Independence, RTE and UCC present THE IRISH REVOLUTION, a major documentary project narrated by Cillian Murphy. Revealing the extraordinary story of how against all odds and armed with little more than idealism, blind faith and courage, a small group of rebels forced Britain, the world's most powerful nation, to withdraw after centuries of conquest and misrule, this is a landmark production for audiences throughout the world.

Featuring rarely seen archive footage, rare, first hand witness accounts, 3-D CGI mapping, dramatic visuals and contributions by the finest writers and historians, THE IRISH REVOLUTION tells the story of the people's revolution of 1916 to 1922, as it has never been told before. We explore how the rebels drew heavily the revolutionary spirit that swept the world in the first years of the 20th century, reveal the astonishing events that forced Britain's hand and show how the Irish example had a far reaching impact, causing millions around the world to rise up and demand their right to equality and freedom.
