After the 1916 Rising, 1800 Irishmen were found guilty of insurrection and interned in Frongoch, a now forgotten Welsh prison camp.  Dubbed “Britain’s biggest blunder,” Frongoch brought together the cream of a generation of revolutionary nationalists and laid the seeds for the War of Independence.  Rosie Nic Cionnaith's visually striking Irish-language docudrama blends archival footage with dramatic recreations to tell the story of Frongoch and the role it played in contemporary Irish history.

On the 14th of August 1969 the British Army were deployed onto Northern Ireland’s streets for the first time, to relieve an exhausted RUC in the wake of the Bogside riots. Confronted with a ring of barricades manned by rioters, the troops were faced with a difficult dilemma – attempt to remove the barricades and provoke a confrontation, or leave the barricades intact and allow the Bogside to remain beyond official control.  Filmmaker Vinny Cunningham confronts the actions of the British army head-on in this powerful follow-up to his 2004 film Battle of the Bogside, which screened here in 2005.
