Irish Destiny is a 1926 film made in Ireland, directed by George Dewhurst and written by Isaac Eppel. It is set during the Irish War of Independence, featuring several actual participants in cameo roles, and features several fascinating shots of Dublin, including the GPO which was still burnt out after the Easter Rising only ten years previously.
Irish Destiny Movie at World Music Company
The film actually disappeared for many years, and even distant memories of the film were only confirmed in the 1980s with the discovery of two posters under the floorboards of a house in Dublin. A single surviving print was eventually located in the US Library of Congress and was painstakingly copied in London. A film score was composed by Michael O’Suilleabhain. An amazing experience. View this wonderful film and listen to the music of these two great musicians.
