The film illustrates and outlines, primarily through the use of newsreel, the growth of the Home Rule and broader and more radical Irish nationalist movements. Photographic representation, the commentary asserts, means "now a new window is opened onto the past by which we look at it through twentieth century eyes." Chapters from Irish history - from the iron age through the medieval period to the early nineteenth century - are briefly recounted. The film begins by illustrating how artifacts and manuscripts can serve as historical records. A literate Irish language commentary from Sean MacReamoinn and an evocative musical score by Sean O Riada add emotional emphasis.
