The first of a new series of seven Chronicle films
The arrest of Francis Sheehy Skeffington in Dublin in 1916 led to a chain of events that were brutal, bizarre and ultimately tragic. This Irish journalist, who spoke out against both the partition of Ireland and Irish violence, was shot in secret by Captain Bowen Colthurst (played by Philip Bowen ) on the grounds that he was a ' dangerous criminal'.
This film investigates the murder, presents new eye-witness evidence and asks-was Colthurst 'guilty but insane' as the court martial concluded? Did the British authorities really condone Colthurst's behaviour? What relevance has Skeffington's message of non-violence for Ireland today? Philip Bowen as Captain Colthurst with and Commentary spoken by Edward Woodward
