 of acclaimed\nBritish film director Ken Loach. The film is part of Ken 
 Loach's 70th\nbirthday celebrations and coincides with the release of his 
 latest Palme\nD'Or winning film, THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY. This 
 documentary charts\nhis career and his working methods through film clips 
 and interviews with\nmany of his collaborators including Robert Carlyle, 
 Cillian Murphy, Brian\nCox, Ricky Tomlinson and Peter Mullan. It premiered 
 on More4 on Sat 17th\nJune 2006 and is currently being broadcast in a 
 number of European\ncountries.\n\nRebel County\n\n\nRebel County uses the 
 shooting of the Ken Loach film The Wind that Shakes\nthe Barley as a 
 springboard from which to explore the real life events of\nThe War of 
 Independence in the South West of the country.\n\nRebel County features 
 observational behind-the-scenes material of Ken Loach\ninteracting with 
 cast and crew, key ambush scenes, Black & Tan raids, behind\nthe scenes 
 historical discussions between Loach and cast members and\nincludes clips 
 of the completed film. The documentary strikes a creative\nand natural 
 balance between the exploration of the film-making process and\nthe real 
 stories from that period.\n\nIt uses some of the film’s key locations 
 (Bandon, Buttevant and Clonakilty\nin West Cork) as a way of exploring what 
 it was like for the ordinary\ninhabitants of Cork living through the 
 traumatic events of the time. It\nexplores the origins of the War of 
 Independence, tracing the influence of\n1798 and family and parish 
 connections on the revolutionary period. It also\nexplores the nature of 
 society before independence and the influence of\ngarrison towns, the 
 impact of World War I and the competing allegiances in\ntowns and villages 
 like Bandon and Buttevant.\nHarvest Films 2006 52 mins\n\nSponsored by
