This film is a historic artistic collaboration: George Morrison's pioneering cinematic work, Seán Ó Riada's innovative music score, and Gael Linn's film-making experience brought to the public a stirring chronicle of Ireland between the years 1896 and 1918. Mise Éire features film of the momentous events surrounding Easter Week 1916, footage of Dublin during the Rising and of the main protagonists, including Clarke, Connolly, de Valera and Pearse.
