Tom Clarke Easter Rising Stories

Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. In the last 100 years Thomas Clarke has been largely overlooked and forgotten yet it was he who was the driving force of the rebellion and it was his drive, enthusiasm and natural sense of independence which led the Irish Republican Brotherhood decision to start a rebellion during the great war. The other signatories of the Proclamation insisted that he should sign it first he was held in such high esteem for his unbreakable spirit. This documentary relates the exciting journey Clarke made from the dynamite campaign, his 15 years penal servitude to The Rising. This story is told by the grand-niece of Kathleen Clarke and author of "16 Lives Tom Clarke" by Helen Litton. It also includes distinguished historians Micheal O'Doibhilin and Joseph EA Connell Jr. It also features an original soundtrack by PJ McDonald performing "Our Own Rebel Hero".
