Documentaries

This historical documentary series presents the vital story of de Valera's Wilderness years from 1924-1926 when he was imprisoned, in poor mental health and stripped of his political power. It tells the story of the revolutionary women who supported him during this time and helped him create one of the most spectacular political U-turns in history - the birth of Fianna Fáil. The incredible story of this rebirth and subsequent rise is intertwined with the tragic story of the last swan song of an entire generation of revolutionary women, ultimately betrayed by De Valera.
