We continue our AAI film night series with “The Wind that Shakes the Barley.” This 2006 film is set during the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921) and the Irish Civil War (1922–1923).

The film takes its title from Robert Dwyer Joyce's "The Wind That Shakes the Barley", a song set during the 1798 rebellion in Ireland and is heavily influenced by Walter Macken's 1964 novel The Scorching Wind.
