What it’s about. Sixty years ago Ian Sinclair was a revolutionary leader. Today he is in an old folks' home, but has not lost his sense of humour, or his appetite for the struggle. In protest at the proposed closure of the home, the old socialist firebrand embarks upon a hunger strike that ends up having wide-range repercussions.

Who’s in it. The Dunroamin' Rising stars Russell Hunter as Ian Sinclair, Elizabeth Sellars as Jean Sutherland, Thorley Walters as Mr Finister and Hugh Lloyd as Wattie, among others.
