What The Wind That Shakes the Barley is

You plan to practice medicine in London of the 1920s. But occupying forces raid the farm of your friends, killing a local. Damien joins his brother in the Irish Republican Army. Loach's film quietly simmers, never letting you settle on one brother's view. It lingers in the silences between them.
