406 Days: The Debenhams Picket Line coming to well-known theatre in Newbridge, County Kildare

406 Days: The Debenhams Picket Line is coming to the screens of the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge.

Directed by Joe Lee, the film tells the story of how on April 9, 2020, nearly 1,000 Irish Debenhams workers received a generic email telling them they were being made redundant.

The summary of the film reads as follows: "So began the longest-ever Irish industrial dispute in Ireland.

"The workers remained on the picket lines, through the Covid-19 pandemic, for 406 days.

"They faced all challenges and year-round weather – fighting on with boundless courage, determination, and friendship."

The screening will be followed by a Q&A, chaired by Newbridge-based Social Democrats councillor Chris Pender.

The film is 90 minutes long and carries a Parental Guidance (PG) rating.

406 Days: The Debenhams Picket Line will debut at the Riverbank on Friday, September 15.

Tickets are €7 to €9.
