A two-part living history series, which sees local recruits in West Cork chosen to live like Tom Barry and the Flying Column during the War of Independence in Ireland. "The Brigade" is all about the Cork 3rd Brigade IRA during the War of Independence or Tan War. The Brigade recruits will be put through an intense week long Boot Camp in West Cork where they will be pushed to their limits to see if they have what it would have taken to survive in an active Flying Column. ​
