Скачать или смотреть Roger Casement - A Rebel Rising

Roger Casement (1864–1916) remains one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in Irish history. Born in Sandycove, Dublin, he became internationally known as a humanitarian, exposing brutal colonial atrocities in the Congo and the Amazon. Knighted by the British Crown, Casement later turned against the Empire and devoted himself to the fight for Irish independence.

In 1916, he attempted to secure German support for the Easter Rising but was captured, tried for treason, and executed in London. His story is one of idealism, courage, and controversy. Today, his statue stands in Sandycove, a reminder of a man whose legacy still provokes debate.

This short documentary explores Casement’s life, from his early years in Dublin to his role in the 1916 Rising, and his lasting memorial in Ireland.
