WATCH: This Video Brilliantly Explains The Easter Rising In 8 Minutes

So much for 5th and 6th class.

With the centenary fast approaching, the 1916 Easter Rising is on everyone’s lips.

With RTE Drama Rebellion the first big offering in centenary programming, we find ourselves scratching our heads trying to remember the details from our 5th class history book.

This video is a “quick and easy way to get up to speed on what the Easter Rising was about”.

Of course, it is only eight minutes so details are omitted, but it is a great way to scratch the surface if you really don’t have the foggiest but don’t want to admit it.
