We've recently seen a lot of 1916 commemorations, but a new feature-length documentary examines the consequences of the War of Independence and Civil War on its survivors.

Keepers of the Flame is directed by Nuala O'Connor and written by Diarmaid Ferriter. It delves into the archives of the Irish Military Service Pensions and provides a truly personal retelling of a brutal and divisive period in the birth of a nation and the devastating legacy it left in its wake, for the individuals who took part and their families who suffered long after the fighting ended.

The film looks at individual family stories, what is remembered and what is fotgotte.

Nuala and Diarmaid joined us to discuss the documentary in more detail.
