Unmarked Graves: The Human Cost of Ireland's Independence

This documentary confronts the human cost of Ireland's fight for independence, looking past the heroic legend to the graves left behind. It examines the Anglo-Irish War and the bitter Civil War that followed, and the people caught between competing versions of the past. The film resists easy myth-making, laying out the tensions rather than resolving them. It is a grounded watch for anyone interested in Irish history and the painful legacy of independence and partition. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
