Description: Step into the making of one of the most powerful films about the Irish War of Independence with this comprehensive companion to Ken Loach's award-winning drama. From the historical tinderbox of 1919-1920 Ireland to the sun-dappled fields of Cork and Kerry, this book traces every stage of the production—script development, casting choices, location shooting, and the meticulous craft behind its haunting visual and sonic language. Along the way, it revisits the film's tumultuous debut at Cannes, the fierce debates it ignited, and its lasting place in cinematic and cultural memory. An essential read for cinephiles, history buffs, and anyone drawn to stories where art and conscience collide.
