On the 23RD April 1916 seven men met in Liberty Hall in the heart of Dublin to sign the Proclamation.

This is the story of those seven men, who knew that by signing such a document they were ultimately signing their own death warrants, they were willing to give up their lives for what they believed was right. Seven men united by a common goal whose actions would change the course of their countries history and whose dreams would set Ireland on the road to freedom       
Narrated by Brendan Gleeson & produced on location in Dublin, complete with archive footage from the time this educational & historically factual drama was originally screened on TG4 in Ireland to huge acclaim. The events of the time are portrayed in seven dramas presented on 2 DVD’s & complete with both Irish & English language audio.  

The 1916 Easter Rising changed the course of Irish history and at the heart of the story of the Rising are the seven men who put their names to the Proclamation of the Irish Republic.Patrick Pearse, James Connolly, Éamonn Ceannt, Seán Mac Diarmada,Joseph Plunkett, Thomas MacDonagh, Thomas J. ClarkeThe 1916 Easter Rising changed the course of Irish history and at the heart of the story of the Rising are the seven men who put their names to the Proclamation of the Irish Republic"Irishmen and Irishwomen: In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom."At midday on Easter Monday, the 24th of April, 1916, Patrick Pearce read these words from the steps of the GPO and declared an Irish Republic free and independent from British rule. The Rising lasted for six short but bloody days, that saw much of Dublin's city centre destroyed, and resulted in the execution of the leaders at the hands of a British firing squad in Kilmainham Gaol. Now for the first time in 50 years you can see who these men were, what brought them to rebellion and why it is so important to keep their memories alive.

This is their story.
