The Canal Bridge

Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, "The Canal Bridge" follows lifelong friends Matthias and Con as they enlist in the British army and are swept into the horrors of World War I, witnessing the brutal realities of battlefield trench warfare. The story is enriched by voices from their Irish community, including Con’s sister Kitty, capturing both the soldiers' experiences abroad and the changing political landscape at home. As the war's end ushers in a new era of conflict and upheaval, the narrative explores how the war impacts their small Irish town and its people.
