Indy smooches Elizabeth Hurley while fighting for Irish independence. History class just got HOT.
Ireland's bloody 1916 Easter Uprising, the suffragette movement in England, a Zeppelin raid, and a meeting with a rising young British cabinet member named Winston Churchill become vivid vignettes in Indy's life. So too do his brief but impassioned romances with the sister of a clandestine Irish rebel, and with an English suffragette for whom the vote comes before love.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Edited from two separate Young Indy TV episodes ('Ireland, April 1916' and 'London, May 1916'), hence the dual directors and slightly disjointed romance structure.
Sean Lemass was a real future Irish Taoiseach; W.B. Yeats actually did navigate revolutionary Dublin during this period, making Indy's literary name-dropping bizarrely accurate.
