The Wind that Shakes the Barley

Two brothers wage a fierce and unyielding battle against the British army during the Irish War of Independence, driven by their unwavering commitment to freedom and self-rule.

In rural Ireland, 1920, a brutal conflict erupts between republican rebels and British forces, as well as Irish Unionists who oppose them. Medical graduate Damien O'Donovan prioritizes helping those in need over his socialist ideals, until witnessing the abuse of commoners changes his mind. He returns to Ireland and joins his brother Teddy's IRA brigade, adopting a merciless approach to the civil war.
