Sean Mac Diarmada Documentary Easter Rising Stories

Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. A full length documentary on the brains behind the 1916 Rising, the secretive Sean Mac Diarmada. This fascinating all Ireland story of Sean's part in the organisation of the Rising is told through families, friends, recently released police archives, witness statements and historians. This key character from Leitrim through his organisational abilities and characteristic good humour is at last given his rightful place in the canon of Irish revolutionary patriots. Michael Collins has famously said "He was not Sean Mac Diarmada, he was Ireland".Filmed in Kiltyclogher and Manorhamilton, County Leitrim.
