'Republican Congress', a documentary by Donal Higgins. The film tells the story of the political organisation that was founded in 1934 by Left-wing republicans Nora Connolly O'Brien, Roddy Connolly, Frank Ryan, George Gilmore and Peadar O'Donnell.
Donal Higgins said, “I was attracted to the story of the Republican Congress as it seems to me to be a fairly overlooked part of our history. In fairness, the Congress only lasted two years, so its not surprising that they've been overlooked. But these were the people who went to Spain to defend Republican values at a time when the whole country was supporting Franco. I also think that the Congress has some resonances for society today.”
