Sa scannán faisnéise Gaeilge 60' seo, déanfar iniúchadh ar shaol agus ar thionchar Eoin Mhic Néill, Ceann Foirne Óglaigh na hÉireann (The Irish Volunteers) a rinne tréaniarracht stop a chur le hÉirí Amach na Cásca in 1916.

Tá athchruthú cúramach sa chlár, bunaithe ar chuimhní cinn neamhfhoilsithe ó pheann Mhic Néill, chomh maith le léargais ó staraithe clúiteacha a dhéanfaidh measúnú ar an méid a rinne Mac Néill ar son ghluaiseacht shaoirse na hÉireann, chomh maith leis an oidhreacht a d'fhág sé ina dhiaidh i saol an léinn. An bhfuair sé cothrom na Féinne as an méid a rinne sé? Sin í an cheist a dtabharfaidh an scannán faisnéise seo fúithi.
