NEW RELEASE:  COCKNEY REBELS - FEBRUARY 2025

The story of the assassination of British Field Marshal, Sir Henry Wilson MP, in London in 1922, which changed the course of Irish history and its links to the port town of Dún Laoghaire in south county Dublin, Ireland.  Contributors include Irish Times journalist and author of 'Great Hatred - the assassination of Field Marshal Henry Wilson MP', Ronan McGreevy, writer and commentator and former Republican prisoner, Danny Morrison, Deans Grange Cemetery staff officer, Jason McLean, local Dún Laoghaire historian, Brian Smith with music by Clare Walsh from Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann.  Directed and produced by Michael Nolan, the film was co-funded with the support of a heritage grant from Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.

A social history documentary from ‪@DigitalDub‬ about the birth of a working class suburb in Dublin, Ireland, in the 1970s and 80s, as told through the eyes of those who moved there and grew up there.  It traces the development of Ballybrack (The Brack) from rural village to sprawling suburb, primarily built by Dún Laoghaire's local authorities, to address a chronic housing need at the time.

Narrated by author Paul Howard, the film tells the story of the Dún Laoghaire borough football team, Pearse Rovers from Sallynoggin, through the eyes of those who played for and coached the team from its founding in 1954.  It's a story about a working class community born in the midst of a TB epidemic in Ireland.  Among many voices we hear from Pearse Rovers most famous son - legendary Ireland international, Paul McGrath.  The film was produced by DigitalDub.ie and men's mental health initiative JumpersforGoalposts.ie.

It’s my medicine – the story of Monkstown Boxing Club is a short film about community spirit triumphing over drugs, decay and despair.  It tells the story of a Dublin amateur boxing club, from its birth in two abandoned and derelict local authority flats in 2004 to its rise to become Ireland’s most successful amateur club in 2016, and the host of one of Europe’s largest amateur boxing tournaments in 2018.

'It’s my medicine' refers to one coaches’ view of how the club helps him personally. But it’s also a metaphor for how the formation of this club and other community resources, acted as a cure for some of the social and economic ills that blighted this Dún Laoghaire community in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

'It’s my medicine' is a story of dedication, commitment, pride and passion from a team of volunteers, parents and club members.

Directed by Michael Nolan
