Synopsis

Set in 1920 Ireland when the Black & Tans were brought in from Britain to help supress revolution in Ireland. It was the first full length sound movie made in Ireland and tells the saga of an IRA flying column in Kerry and the local Malone family suspected of betraying their country. It was made in and around Killarney by Tom Cooper, the owner of the local cinema who also directs and stars as the head of the local IRA.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
