A Terrible Hullabaloo
The story of young Vinny Byrne, a fourteen year old boy who found himself fighting for Ireland in the Easter Rising. An eighty year old Vinny reminisces on his time with the volunteers, which took him around the city during the fighting. With Vinny’s Dublin brought to life by handmade miniature sets and puppetry, the film offers a uniquely charming first hand account of the 1916 rising.
