Faoi Gheall ag Éirinn (Pledged to Ireland) (2016) Online

Historically speaking the Easter Rising of 1916 has always been identified with the group of men leading the rebellion - Padraig Pearse, James Connolly, and the others - who took over Dublin's Post Office and held it for six days before being overwhelmed by the British army. They were subsequently executed, and their deaths proved the inspiration for a larger movement towards independence that culminated in the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922.

Presented by Lynette Fay, this documentary told the story of three unsung heroes of the Rebellion, whose names might not be as well known, but who played as important a part in bringing people together as most of their male counterparts. History might have forgotten them, but perhaps this is because it has been overwhelmingly authored by males and focused on the so-called "great deeds" theory of narrative that often excludes elements such as the domestic sphere, or the ways in which people summon up support through peaceful means - pamphlets, speeches, or good old fashioned word of mouth.

We might not have heard of these three women, but this documentary made it clear that they played as important a role in strengthening support amongst people of both religious faiths in opposing continued British colonization.
