Are you a corker? Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the CMC’s Irish Freedom Film Festival, dedicated to the men and women who have given their lives in the fight against British oppression. Join us for all or part of the festival.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:

5pm - MICHAEL COLLINS - Liam Neeson portrays the Michael Collins, the man many credit as a hero for winning freedom for the southern 26 counties of Ireland (and whom many curse as a sellout for bartering the agreement that partitioned the island). Directed by Neil Jordan (1996).

7:15pm - BLOODY SUNDAY - On Jan. 30th, 1972 peaceful civil rights protesters in Derry, Northern Ireland were fired on by British soldiers. 13 people were shot and killed (most of them teenagers, none of them armed), and hundreds were injured by the hail of bullets. The British soldiers who murdered 13 Derry protestors were later decorated by the Queen, and to date have never been charged with a crime. The film “Bloody Sunday” depicts these events in a raw, gritty style that makes you feel like you’re right there, among the panicked, fleeing masses. Directed by Paul Greengrass (2002).
