Jimmy's hall  Cover Image E-video E-video

Jimmy's hall / screenplay by Paul Laverty ; produced by Rebecca O'Brien ; directed by Ken Loach.

Summary:

In 1921 Jimmy Gralton's sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in an Ireland on the brink of Civil War. The Pearse-Connolly Hall was a place where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream; but above all to dance and have fun. As the hall grew in popularity its socialist and free-spirited reputation brought it to the attention of the church and politicians who forced Jimmy to flee and the hall to close.
