The Hanging Gale
Ireland, 1846. The four Phelan brothers (played by the four McGann brothers) are torn between non-violent protest and bloody revolt when the injustice of the landholding system and the onset of the potato blight combine to devastate their community. A powerful, emotionally charged and informative account of one family's struggle to survive the looming famine - a situation only made worse by the cruel and unbending governance of the British. A superb, if bleak, BBC production that was nominated for four BAFTAs including Best Drama Serial.
