Dive deep into the heart of the district that has long been the dividing line between central Dublin and the working-class neighborhoods to the north. Authentic voices from the past paint a vivid picture of weavers, sailors, dockworkers, soldiers, marginalization, and internment, all set against the backdrop of a modern-day transformation marked by unrelenting gentrification that brings few pleasures beyond sports. The haunting strains of powerful folk music resonate within the walls of a legendary local pub, embodying the resilience and pride of this community in this hypnotic, poignant, and beautifully shot black-and-white film.
Starring: Gemma Dunleavy, Annie Hughes, Ian Lynch, Lisa O’Neill, Johnny Flynn
