SAOIRSE? (1961), a sequel to Mise Éire, chronicles the most turbulent period in Irish history from 1919 to 1922 with the War of Independence, the Truce, the Treaty and tragically, the outbreak of the Civil War. The story unfolds before the lens of Irish and British newsreel operators and through the words of script-writer Seán Mac Réamoinn. We are proud to present this rarely-seen work directed by renowned documentarian George Morrison in this, his one-hundredth year.

SAOIRSE? (1961), insíonn an scannán seo, leantach ar Mise Éire, scéal na tréimhse is suaití i stair na hÉireann ó 1919 go 1922, inar tharla Cogadh na Saoirse, an Conradh Síochána agus, go tragóideach, briseadh amach an Chogadh Chathartha. Insítear an scéal trí lionsa comhlachtaí nuachtscánnáin Éireannacha agus Sasanacha agus trí fhocail an scriptscríbhneora, Seán Mac Réamoinn. Is annamh a fheictear an saothar seo agus is ábhar bróid dúinn an scannán, stiúraithe ag an scannánóir faisnéise mór le rá, George Morrison, a chur i bhur láthair i mbliain seo a chéad.
