Against The Wind, by Seamus Lucason
Directed by Ray Arsenault

Tomás (Tommy) Maloney, a vagrant fisherman living on a bench in 1905 Dublin, Ireland is approached by Hannah Devlin, a member of The Daughters of Erin, who wishes to place a poster on the lamp-post where Tommy resides.  Andrew Drummond, a Dublin Metropolitan Police Officer, discovers the poster and brings Tomás to the station where he is questioned and soundly beaten. The resulting action brings Tommy to enlist in the Irish Women’s Movement toward independence.
