It’s easy to lose sight of the revolutions and uprisings that preceded events a century ago. Possessing a grandeur and epic sweep often absent in most historical documentaries, The United Irishmen reminds us of what a truly radical group they were and also what a seminal moment 1798 was.

But this film is not just about past events. It also interrogates ideas of history and memory and presents them in a way that’s not only enlightening, but also unexpectedly moving. DO’M

CIFF will premiere Alan Gilsenan's The Days of Trees on 18 Nov.
