Screening - Indian World Film Festival
1916 The Irish Rebellion is selected as an official entry into the Indian World Film Festival, held in Hyderabad, India, on March 19, 2017.
On Easter Monday 1916, a small group of Irish rebels—including poets, teachers, actors and workers—took on the might of the British Empire. Although defeated militarily, the men and women of the Easter Rising would soon win a moral victory—with their actions leading to the creation of an independent Irish state and contributing to the eventual disintegration of the British empire. They have inspired countless freedom struggles throughout the world—from Ireland to India.
