RTÉ One's new documentary, 1916, starts tonight at 9:35pm and just ahead of that they've released a trailer for the three-part show.
The documentary will give viewers a comprehensive overview of the Easter Rising, the enormous impact it had both in Ireland and around the world and the role played by Irish America in the lead up to the rebellion.
It's narrated by Liam Neeson and explores the historical connections between Britain, Ireland and the United States.
Speaking about the documentary Liam Neeson said, “1916 is a significant documentary series. As an Irishman, it is, of course, part of my history.
"The series puts the Easter Rising in a broader, more international context than has ever been done, and shows how it inspired similar movements around the world. What attracted me most was that the series also focuses on the personal stories of those involved. These stories are very human and powerful”.
