Rebellion
Ordinary people. Extraordinary times.
Created by Colin Teevan
On RTÉ One
A tightly focused historical drama following a small group of Dublin friends through the Easter Rising, balancing intimate character bonds against the weight of historical upheaval and moral conflict.
A group of young men and women in Dublin in 1916 are embroiled in a fight for independence during the Easter Rising. The story begins with the outbreak of World War I. As expectations of a short and glorious campaign are dashed, social stability is eroded and Irish nationalism comes to the fore. The tumultuous events that follow are seen through the eyes of a group of friends from Dublin, Belfast and London as they play vital and conflicting roles in the narrative of Ireland's independence.
