1932. Jimmy Gralton is back home in the Irish countryside after ten years of forced exile in the USA. His widowed mother Alice is happy, Jimmy's frien...ds are happy, all the young people who enjoy dancing and singing are happy. Which is not the case of Father Sheridan, the local priest, nor of the village squire, nor of Dennis O'Keefe, the chief of the fascists. The reason is simple: Jimmy is a socialist activist. So when the "intruder" reopens the village hall, thus enabling the villagers to gather to sing, dance, paint, study or box, they take a dim view of the whole thing. People who think and unite are difficult to manipulate, aren't they? From that moment on they will use every means possible to get rid of Jimmy and his "dangerous" hall. Show More

Jimmy's Hall is a 2014 movie set in 1932, following the story of Jimmy Gralton, a socialist activist who returns to his Irish countryside home after a decade of exile in the USA. Gralton's return brings joy to his friends, the young people who enjoy dancing and singing, and his widowed mother Alice. However, the local priest Father Sheridan, the village squire, and the fascist chief Dennis O'Keefe are not happy with his presence.

Gralton decides to reopen the village hall, a place where people can gather to sing, dance, paint, study, and box. This move is met with resistance from those in power, as they fear that people who think and unite become difficult to control.

The movie explores Gralton's struggle against oppression and his efforts to empower the local community. It showcases the clash between Gralton's socialist principles and the conservative forces that seek to suppress him.

Jimmy's Hall serves as a window into the historical context of 1930s Ireland, addressing themes of political activism, freedom of expression, and the power struggle between different societal factions.

Filled with drama and an exploration of social issues, Jimmy's Hall offers an inspiring tale of resilience and the importance of standing up for what one believes in.
