In 1972, Morgan Llywelyn tells the story of Ireland from 1950 to
1972 as seen through the eyes of young Barry Halloran, son and
grandson of Irish revolutionaries. Following family tradition, at
eighteen Barry joins the Irish Republican Army to help complete
what he sees as the unfinished revolution. Issues are no longer as
clear-cut as they once were. His first experience of violence in
Northern Ireland shocks and disturbs him, yet he has found a sense
of family in the Army that is hard to give up. He makes a partial
break by becoming a photographer, visually documenting events in
the north rather than participating. Events lead Barry into a
totally different life from the one he expected, yet his allegiance
to the ideal of a thirty-two-county Irish republic remains undimmed
as the problems, and the violence, of Northern Ireland escalate.
Then Barry finds himself in the middle of the most horrific event
of all: Bloody Sunday in Derry, 1972.
