Hmmm... We're tempted to just park this one here and let it stew, but in the sake of fairness, some background for you:
Earlier this year, VICE followed around Ireland's new generation of dissidents, namely 'Na Fianna Éireann,' 30 kids who claim to be supporters of the 'Continuity IRA.' They believe an armed struggle is needed to free Ireland from Britain.
The trailer for the documentary that VICE filmed with these kids is here:
Eh, lads... It's okay. Most of us have moved on - I'm even wearing a Jack Wills hoodie. Focus on your Junior Certs.
One kid, no more than eight, says he is a Fianna member "to get the Brits out of Ireland." An eight year old child. It's frightening stuff, but hardly surprising if you're from this crazy little island.
This documentary will likely surprise nobody in Ireland, truth be told; it might just make us seem like idiots to our friends from foreign lands, which usually we need no help with.
But sure look! The film is listed as 'coming soon,' with no official date as of yet.
