The Brigade
Streaming video - 2019
A gripping two-part living history series brings to life the story of Tom Barry and the legendary 3rd West Cork Flying Column during Ireland’s War of Independence. Twelve young local men, recruited at an open day in Clonakilty, are trained by ex-Irish Defence Forces in drilling, shooting, tactics, and survival - culminating in realistic guerrilla-style ambushes and battles. Alongside them, six history students from the University of Essex explore the conflict from both sides, meeting descendants of the IRA fighters and uncovering the strategies, hardships, and human stories behind this uncompromising war.
