Investigative journalist Kevin Magee examines a controversial shooting in 1916, when the first RIC man was killed in the Easter Rising. Magee carefully recreates the events of the day and reveals how the RIC man Charlie McGee met his death.
This documentary follows the lives of four men who were caught up in the events of Easter Monday, 1916. Charlie McGee, a native Irish speaker from the Donegal Gaeltacht, was shot dead, and Lieutenant Robert Dunville, heir to the Dunville Whiskey empire, was injured. The rebels involved included Belfast republican Seán MacEntee, who later became Tánaiste in the Irish government, and Paddy McHugh, a key figure in the Irish War of Independence.
In a contemporary twist, the relatives of the RIC man and the descendants of the chief suspect come together to discuss the fallout from the killing more than 100 years later.
