Movie, Jimmys Hall, playing in the Alice Cinematheque and Academy in Christchurch at the moment.... Political activist Jimmy Gralton is deported from Ireland during the countrys Red Scare of the 1930s. In 1932, after ten years in the United States, Jimmy Gralton returns to his native Ireland to help his mother run the family farm. A new government is in power in Ireland ten years after the end of the Civil War. To meet the needs of the young people of County Leitrim, Jimmy, in spite of his reluctance to cause upset to his old enemies (the Church and the local landowners), decides to reopen the Hall, a young peoples centre, free and open to all, where the local young people meet to dance, study or talk. Success comes quickly, but the growing influence of Jimmy and his radical ideas is not to the taste of everyone in the village.
