The Easter Rising in Ireland saw many men fight for Irish independence, and this is very well documented. Instead, we look at the women who played an integral role during this period. A lot of the source material and inspiration for this short piece came from Sinéad McCoole's fantastic book 'No Ordinary Women'. I strongly advise giving it a read. Music:
Matthew Squires and The Learning Disorders - The Heretical Physics
Rocco Granata - Daedalus
A teenager struggles with grief and tries to cope with death through art therapy. Music: Borrtex - Thank You For This World
Borrtex - Touch of Ice
We revisit a storm of biblical proportions in the small town of 19th century Monaghan. Music: Borrtex - We Are Saved
Lofiuser - Radiant Jaguar
A tale of two Irish indentured servants in 18th century America. We follow their attempted escape then the years following their servitude where they found their humility through the lives of others. Music: Borrtex - You Are Not Funny Borrtex - We Are Saved Borrtex - Sense of Music
This is a tale of religious fanatics, misguided medical practice and the dismissal of depression and mental health in 1920s Ireland.
Music:
Intro: Matthew Squires and The Learning Disorders - The Heretical Physics
Main: Diogenes in Hell - Helios and Hyperion
A tale of love, connection and coping with loss. Equally platonic and romantic, we follow the life of an Irish immigrant in America coping with tragedy through cinema and companionship.

Ripple
A day trip which reignites family ties and friendship through abandonment, grief and death.
'It is a distinctive Celtic trait to regard literal truth as somewhat elastic when it comes to storytelling...'
The individuals and events in this story are real. The circumstances, not so much.
