| Title: |
Rebel Heart |
| Logline: |
The epic story of the Irish
Rebellion as seen through the eyes of a young rebel volunteer
torn between love and the fight for freedom. On the first day
of the Easter Rising in Dublin, 1916, eighteen year old Ernie
Coyne joins the Irish Volunteers as they storm the General Post
Office. He also meets Ita Feeney, a Belfast girl who has joined
the rebels in their fight for freedom from the British, and
immediately falls under her spell. This powerful, epic drama
depicts the Irish struggle for independence through Ernie’s
experiences. Set against the colourful, intense and often dangerous
backdrop of a bitter war, this drama is full of action and heroism,
interwoven with a deeply moving love story that sheds a very
personal light on events that changed a nation. |
