Route Irish
A new verite/essay film by Eamonn Crudden in association with Revolt Video.
The film documents the emergence of the various Irish anti-war movements after 2002, when it became a national scandal that the Irish government were facilitating the US war effort by allowing them unfettered and unchecked access to Irish airports, especially Shannon Airport. All the more a scandal because Ireland is supposed to be a sovereign and neutral country.
This film shows how and why these movements have failed and will undoubtedly be of use to activists around the world.
Despite the bleak content of the film it will inspire even the most disheartened and will have people wet themselves with laughter.
The film is narrated and edited by Eamonn in a style that is uniquely Irish - this allows him to spread his message without causing offence to those on either side of the war debate.
