This project is dedicated to the creative women and men of our great Irish cultural revolution, 1890 to 1922. They were both rebel and innovator, writer and fighter who challenged a nation to reawaken its own spirit. This often turbulent yet extremely innovative period of Irish history is a fascinating study on the rebirth of a culture after centuries in chains. 
I began my research for the songs and writers of the revolution back in 2013. I found many incredible stories of courage, bravery, empathy and lots of humour. 
This film  has no dialogue, it is a musical narrative and it is bound and supported by the beautiful portraits from my friend Mick O Dea who presented several moving  exhibitions on this incredible period of Irish history. 
Its right that we take back our history and salute those who created it, writers, poets, playrights, novelists, songwriters, brave men and women , but especially the women of the revolution who have finally emerged from forced exclusion to take their proper place in our history. We must all salute their dedication and courage.
My inspiration was stirred when I first came across the lives of volunteer Peader Clancy and Suffragist and women's right advocate Eva Gore Booth. Long may we sing their praise. 
My thanks to Aras Chronain, Clondalkin and Culture Ireland
