Following the veteran campaigner Ailbhe Smyth and self-described glitter-activist Andrea Horan as they chart a bold strategy of grassroots activism and engineer the impossible, The 8th is a dramatic story underscored by a vivid exploration of the wrenching failures that led to a defining moment in Irish history.

An urgent narrative, a cautionary tale and a roadmap for progressive reforms in a modern era where authoritarianism is on the rise, The 8th shows a country forging a new progressive path.

"Informative and engaging...a powerful testament to the years of work done by activists to make Irish society better." - Emma Keyes, Film Ireland
