Between 1970 and 1973 over 350,000 tenants throughout Ireland withheld rent in protest against rent increases, poor housing conditions and a lack of facilities. The story of this national movement, which ended in success in August 1973, is told for the first time in a new documentary, The Rent Strike, using RTÉ archive footage and interviews with surviving strikers and their families.
Upstate Theatre Project in association with CATU are delighted to bring The Rent Strike to Dundalk for a special screening in An Táin Arts Centre. The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
