SAVANNAH — Armstrong Atlantic State University will host a free screening of “The Wind that Shakes the Barley,” on Oct. 16, at 7 p.m. in Gamble Hall 103 on the Armstrong Atlantic State University campus, 11935 Abercorn St. The public is invited.

“The Wind that Shakes the Barley” is a 2006 Ken Loach film set during the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) and the Irish Civil War (1922-1923). This drama tells the story of two brothers who join the Irish Republican Army to struggle for Irish independence from Great Britain.
