Liam Neeson Plays Michael Collins
At the turn of the century Britian was the
foremost world power and the British Empire stretched over two-thirds of the globe.
Despite the extent of its power its most troublesome colony had always been the one closest to it, Ireland.
For seven hundred years Britain's rule over Ireland had been resisted by rebellion and revolution, all of which ended in failure.
Then, in 1916, a rebellion began, to be followed by guerilla warfare which would change the nature of that rule forever.
The Mastermind behind that War was Michael Collins.
His life and death defined the period, in its triumph, terror and tragedy.
This is his story.
