A Terrible Beauty - U.S. premiere

Event Description

The Irish Immigration Center, in partnership with AOH Dennis Kelly Div. 1 the Irish Easter Rising Centennial Commemoration Committee, is delighted to present the U.S. premiere of A Terrible Beauty, a 90-minute docudrama that takes a unique look at the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin.

Using firsthand accounts of the events of Easter week, A Terrible Beauty, tells little-known stories of ordinary people involved in the Rising: Irish Volunteers, British soldiers and the innocent civilians caught in the middle. 

A Terrible Beauty was made by renowned history filmmakers, Tile Films, who also made Death on the Railroad, the story of the murders at Duffy's Cut in Malvern, Pa.

Please join us for this very special event!

A Terrible Beauty is an opportunity to explore the Rising from varied perspectives and hear the stories that are still of such relevance to Ireland and Irish-America today. So let's launch this film with a proper party, and help raise awareness of this pivotal moment in Irish history.

Tickets include cocktail reception, film screening and Q&A with the director and producer.
