Compilation of clips from The Enigma of Frank Ryan.

Irish Republican hero Frank Ryan mystified his countrymen and many others with what seemed to be contradictory political impulses.

Ultimately, he would die far from home, yearning to return to Ireland but turned away because of his political activities.
