Watch Brendan Culleton's 'Congo; An Irish Affair' in Irish Cinemas
Directed by Brendan Culleton (Diarmaid & Strongbow) and Irina Maldea (The Patriot Game), the Akajava Films' feature documentary tells the story of the Irish State involvement in Congo affairs as representatives of the United Nations Force following Congolese independence from Belgium in 1960. The documentary uses previously unseen archives and interview with Irish army veterans of the Irish Army 35th Battalion, who attempted to safeguard the newly independent Congo from attacking militia forces. We caught up with director Brendan Culleton to find out more about 'Congo; an Irish Affair' ahead of its limited Irish release.
