In the wake of the 1916 Easter Rising, Ireland was plunged into a brutal war of independence that pitted the Irish Republican Army against British forces. As the conflict escalated, both sides engaged in a campaign of violence that claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians, police, and soldiers. Many of these victims were abducted, executed, and buried in unmarked graves, their identities and fates often obscured by the chaos of the era. This documentary follows a historian as he investigates these forgotten casualties, seeking to uncover the truth behind their disappearances and the dark shadow they cast over the history of the Irish struggle for independence.
