Am an Ghátair (Times of Trouble), a new, two-part series of unusual true stories from the War of Independence, begins on TG4 tonight, Wednesday November 7, at 9:30pm.
The series opens with Deora Dé (God's Tears), a drama-documentary which "tells the story behind the bleeding statues of Templemore, where an apparition of the Virgin Mary stopped the fighting for a brief few months in the summer of 1920".
The second episode, In Ainm an Mhic (In the Name of the Son), "explores the extraordinary story of Josephine Brown, who spied for the IRA in Cork on condition that they kidnap her son from her in-laws in the UK". It airs on Wednesday November 14 at 9:30pm.
