Joe Murphy The Boy From Pouladuff & My Unsung Hero

This documentary/play package sheds light on Murphy, a man from Ballyphehane, who sacrificed his life on a hunger strike for fair trials.
Directed by Joe Murphy’s grandniece Shirley Kelleher, the documentary Joe Murphy, The Boy From Pouladuff, tells the courageous story of the young man, his family and their relentless efforts to honour his legacy.
My Unsung Hero is a play about the life of Joe Murphy and is written and produced by Maurice Dineen, co-written by Elizabeth Scanlon and directed by Catherine Mahon Buckley. The play is set around the kitchen table, where Joe Murphy’s mother, Nora Murphy recounts the adventures and challenges she and her son faced throughout the revolution.
'Joe Murphy: The Boy from Pouladuff' and 'My Unsung Hero' are part of a community project supported by Cork City Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.

A very informative and educational piece, well put together. An essential watch for any student of Irish History and republicanism.

Shirley's debut as a Director and a Producer. And what a debut! Well done. Everybody in Togher should be proud of their local Hero!
