The Wind that Shakes the Barley 2006
The mid-1920s...Ireland still existed as a part and colony of England. The persecution of the Irish people by the British soldiers did not stop. Damien was one of thousands of people who witnessed the atrocities. After a while, he felt the need to do something about this violence. Then it went to the Irish Republicans. But peace and the new misery brought by peace were close... One of Ken Loach's most important films of recent times, The Wind of Freedom, also won the Palme d'Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.
