Abstract:
Docu-drama on Irish schools run by the Christian Brothers, with the dramatic sequences presenting their world of male camaraderie, religious discipline, their traditional Gaelic historical view, their severe corporal-punishment approach to education, and their commitment to teaching in Irish. Includes interview sequences where past students discuss their education and the corporal punishment they experienced at the schools.
