Cogadh Ar Mhna
Cogadh Ar Mhna
For years, the Irish Revolution has been seen as exceptional in that acts of sexual violence against women weren't seen as part of the War of Independence and the Civil War, even though they happen as part of many other conflicts. This documentary presents for the first time the witness testimony of some of the women who were victims of it, in their own words. It shows that sexual violence was perpetrated by all sides and highlights the repeated silencing of women and their stories in Irish history
Cogadh Ar Mhna airs on TG4 at 2:30 AM, Thursday 21 November. (Repeat, subtitles.)
