Na Chéad Fight Clubs

Hard-hitting documentary about one of Ireland’s darkest and most truths- the bloody phenomenon of faction fighting. In the first half of the 19^th century, violence amongst organized rural gangs or factions was a way of life in many parts of Munster. Hundreds-strong groups of young men skilled in the ancient martial art of stick-fighting would meet on fair days and fight brutal and bloody battles…..to the death.
