Based around a series of intimate interviews with the former Workers' Party president and Official IRA Chief of Staff; Seán Garland, brought to life through imaginative use of archive and evocative dramatisations of key periods in his story, ‘The Man with the Hat’ delves into the heart of political upheaval in Ireland and beyond during the 20th Century.

Taking the viewer from the tenements of early 20th century Dublin, through the Soviet Bloc, North Korea and every major political development in Irish public life from the IRA's Border campaign of the 1950’s through to the Peace Process, ‘The Man with the Hat’ explores how someone at the epicentre of Revolutionary politics, acted while the world raged and shifted around him.

The Screening will be followed by a Question and Answer session with the Director and journalists from the period.
