The movie was a very well made and honest description of the situation in Ireland at the time and in no way was propaganda at all. Britain indeed did everything to keep Ireland on its knees as it did with other occupied nations all over the world. The scenes were realistic and the mood was well captured. The actors were able to play Irishmen and women in a very realistic fashion. Rarely does one see a movie shot in a non English country that appears to be genuine and credible. It is a sure bet that someone Irish was on location to direct the German movie makers to present every minute detail on film. The film had a quality that one normally sees from the famous director Ford.
