He also meets Ita Feeney, a Belfast girl who has joined the rebels in their fight for freedom from the British, and immediately falls under her spell. This powerful, epic drama depicts the Irish struggle for independence through Ernie’s experiences. Set against the colourful, intense and often dangerous backdrop of a bitter war, this drama is full of action and heroism, interwoven with a deeply moving love story that sheds a very personal light on events that changed a nation.
