Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. Historian and author Liz Gillis tells the story of the Hales Brothers, the real story of "the wind that shakes the barley". Brothers who fought on opposing sides from 1916 through to the War of Independence through to the Irish Civil War. The torture of Tom Hales and Pat Harte is also explored. Both brothers played a part on opposing sides the day Michael Collins was executed. The Hales family embraced revolution, but the Treaty broke them. This film gives a snapshot of a groundbreaking piece of history told by a highly respected historian. Here is a Greek tragedy enacted in real life. Thanks to Mercier Press.
