The Wind That Shakes the Barley, Black 47 - with View It On Volta

July 07, 2020

*** FREE code to stream an Irish film on Volta.ie at the end of this episode ***

Remember how The Wind That Shakes The Barley had us all running to the cinema back in 2006? This week on our second sponsored View It On Volta episode, we take a look at the film - what it's like watching it 14 years later, how Ken Loach depicted Irish history, and more. We also chat to Maria O'Connor, who was the locations manager on the film and has lots of great anecdotes (and advice). Plus we chat about Black 47, another historical Irish film which looks at the Great Famine.

Check out all of the films in this week's category, On Location, by visiting www.volta.ie. And don't forget that free code :)Episode sponsored by Volta.ie, but all opinions are ours.
