Subject: RE: Philip Donnellan documentaries
"Irishmen" and "Gone To Be A Soldier"
We have copies of both and others if you need them
I also have a file of MacColl's Irish songs in full made for the Irishmen a filmed obituary for Phillip by TG4
Phillip and Charles Parker were friends and a heroes of ours
When 'The Irishmen' (which was never publicly broadcast) was shown in Dublin a few years ago Phil and Jill's daughter, Polly described how, when her father completed each film he immediately shipped a copy abroad because he suspected that the BBC would destroy all copies
