Em 1916, na Irlanda, Michael Collins é preso em virtude de participar de uma manifestação contra a presença inglesa em seu país. É neste período que ele passa a acreditar que a guerrilha poderá levar seus compatriotas ao fim de uma submissão ao governo inglês, que dura 700 anos. Assim é criado o Exército Republicano Irlandês, o IRA, conseguindo em 1921 realizar o primeiro acordo de paz com os ingleses, quando fundou a República da Irlanda do Norte. Mas a paz almejada foi apenas o início de um conflito entre Irlanda do Norte e Inglaterra, que permanece até os dias de hoje.

Broken Harvest is set in 1950's Ireland framed by modern-day New York. It deals with a bitter feud between two farmers who had taken opposite sides in the Irish Civil War many years before and who had also fought for the love of the same woman. When the feud is reawakened in the '50s it causes a major upheaval with tragic consequences for the lives of the two men, their families and the community. As the story unfolds it embraces many of the great, lingering issues affecting Ireland in this century - the War of Independence, the Civil War, emigration, the links with America, the clash between traditional, conservative values and those of a new technological age.

This short documentary draws on the photographs of Robert French from the William Lawrence Collection held in the National Library. The photos illustrate the Dublin of 1904 which served as a backdrop to James Joyce’s Ulysses. The film traces Joyce’s childhood and adolescence, his meeting with Nora Barnacle on June 10th, 1904, and the highways and byways which Leopold Bloom wandered through on June 16th, 1904. The music in the film references some of Joyce’s favourite songs, many of which appear in Ulysses.
