The Irish Rebellion of 1798 (Irish:Éirí Amach 1798), also known as the United Irishmen Rebellion (Irish:Éirí Amach na nÉireannach Aontaithe), was an uprising against Britishrule in Ireland lasting from May to September 1798. The United Irishmen, a republican revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions, were the main organising force behind the rebellion.
Background
Since 1691 and the end of the Williamite War, Ireland had chiefly been controlled by the minority AnglicanProtestant Ascendancy constituting members of the established Church of Ireland loyal to the British Crown. It governed through a form of institutionalised sectarianism codified in the Penal Laws which discriminated against both the majority Irish Catholic population and non-Anglican Protestants (for example Presbyterians). In the late 18th century, liberal elements among the ruling class were inspired by the example of the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and sought to form common cause with the Catholic populace to achieve reform and greater autonomy from Britain. As in England, the majority of Protestants, as well as all Catholics, were barred from voting because they did not pass a property threshold.
Another grievance was that Ireland, although nominally a sovereign kingdom governed by the monarch and Parliament of the island, in reality had less independence than most of Britain's North American colonies, due to a series of laws enacted by the English, such as Poynings' law of 1494 and the Declaratory Act of 1719, the former of which gave the English veto power over Irish legislation, and the latter of which gave the British the right to legislate for the kingdom.

The 1798 rebellion left a permanent mark on the face of Irish history. Inspired by the American and French Revolutions, it was the chance that the Irish people sought to assert and solidify their independence from the British Empire. The rebellion ultimately failed for multiple complex reasons, and its direct result was the Act of Union of 1801, in which the United Kingdom absorbed Ireland. The Irish never forgot their ancestors' struggles, and the same rebel spirit revived in the early 20th century, when Ireland won its independence after multiple horrific and bloody conflicts. Setting the film before the rebellion openly broke out, allows us to explore a social structure and a family dynamic, in a time where everything is unsure, and every choice could have irreversible outcomes.
We couldn't be more excited to bring you this film now. It is about family, tough choices and conflict, in a country that knows about all three better than most. The disorder of a repressive control over the Irish people is where our rebellion starts and their fate rests on the actions they are yet to take. The dilemmas the people of this period had to face, might strike a familiar chord with more recent or current troubles. Conflict, after all, is where there are sides that raise walls. This is why we find it helpful to look to the past, and seek guidance from unsung heroes, like Niamh. A girl that, despite this terrible historical backdrop, continues to work, sing, fall in love, to feel afraid, angry, to question and lead her own way through all this to dream and hope.

Father, I've found a ship to take me away Pack my box and get me ready No time to waste astray Father, in a week i will be gone To Miklagard on dragon's wings There's riches to be won To Uppsala Odin and Thor May they guard my way Where i've never walked before Sweden, oh Sweden My fatherland my home I pray to see your shores again Tomorrow i'll be gone Sweden, oh Sweden Heathen stronghold in the black Odin walks amidst your trees May he guide me back I saw an old man passing by Under his cloak the flicker of an eye As i turned to ask his name He was gone just as he came I know i'm not alone He will watch me far from home And his wisdom be the light And his courage in the fight Odin, to Uppsala i shall come To honour you with sacrifice as it must be done Oh Odin, i raise my hands to thee and pray Give me strength and wisdom
