Ireland's New Rising

One hundred years after the Easter Rising of 1916, the question of Irish sovereignty still looms large. New challenges in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis in the South, and slashes to public spending in the North have ignited a new wave of resistance. In this special report, Laura Flanders returns to Ireland, 30 years after first reporting on the so-called "Troubles." With photographer Paula Allen she takes a fresh look at Irish nationalism through the stories of several generations of activists.
