There was a TV series that went on all week, called Insurrection, a mockumentary of each day of the Rising. Iâve seen it since; itâs kind of fascinating. We were kind of thrilled by that. We felt it was like a totally accurate representation of the way things were, had television cameras been there. So to move from that, directly after that, to Belfast, was quite a shock.
