Arise, You Gallant Sweenys! Is a documentary film that tells the story
of a number of Irish men who migrated to Britain for economic reasons in
the 1950s and ‘60s, who helped build Britain’s motorways and who,
through alcoholism, poverty and other reasons had never returned to
Ireland until their recent homecoming which is documented in the film.
This moving film is unique in that the group retains directorial and
collective ownership over all the material produced: all proceeds from
DVD sales go to the Stor Mo Chroí fund which supports holidays and
social opportunities for older, isolated Irish people.
