An iconic presence in the landscape of Irish socialism and republicanism, the name of James Connolly looms large in the trade union movement, and wherever radical left-wing politics are espoused. This film tries to bring Connolly’s many achievements in the field of workers’ and women’s rights into the fore, alongside his role in the 1916 Easter uprising. As well as many distinguished commentators and historians, the film also features Connolly’s and other famous songs and poems – spoken and sung by contemporary artists such as Christy Moore, Stephen Rea, Davy Power, Eoghan Ó Ceannbháin, Esosa Ighodaro and Connolly’s great-great-granddaughter, Tamsin Iona Connolly Heron.
