Rebel Wife (& Rebel Rossa)
Hi, thanks for your interest in Rebel Rossa & Rebel Wife.
REBEL WIFE is now completed! The unknown story of Mary Jane Irwin O’Donovan Rossa and her pivotal contribution to Irish freedom premiered in mid-December 2023 at the IndieCork Film Festival in Ireland. HERE is a trailer.
HERE is the GoFundMe and I would love your support!
I’m not yet sure where the film will be available as I’m working on Irish TV and other festivals right now. I may also do video of demand at some point. There will most likely be a NYC premiere at the CraicFest in March 2024 and I will keep things up to date here and on Facebook, X, Insta - LET’S GET HER STORY OUT THERE AND HELP INSPIRE OTHER UNKNOWN STORIES OF WOMEN IN HISTORY!
REBEL ROSSA is still out there and available to stream for free (with some ads) - there are also DVDs still available for those who desire them (see above). Rebel Rossa is a feature-length documentary about the Irish revolutionary Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa, his controversial role in history and what he means now. It premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh in 2016 and has been shown on RTE all over Ireland and the USA. You can currently see it on Amazon Prime or order a limited edition US/Canada DVD right here. The DVD includes extras like an interview with Gerry Adams, a recreation of Padraig Pearse’s famous graveside oration (“The Fools, The Fools”), NYC commemorations, a visit to the Belfast O’Donovan Rossa GAA club and a number of other scenes only on the DVD.
