Über diesen Film

A biography of the poet W. B. Yeats and his contribution to the Irish independence movement as a Protestant nationalist. - Through performances of some of Yeats' most iconic poems by leading Irish and British cultural figures, Bob Geldof reveals how Yeats and others built the scaffolding of a new independent Ireland decades before the Rising - but how Yeats' vision for a modern, pluralist, inclusive Ireland was pushed aside by the narrow-minded Catholic elite of the new Free State.

Excellent. If this eludes to my opinion of this compilation . . . I'm purchasing it. Thank you Mr. Geldof (* "Bob" seems a bit cheeky.*)
