What We Leave In Our Wake

A filmic essay which unfolds as a series of conversations on Ireland, exploring themes such as emigration, mythology, consumerism, socialism, the place of the Church in Irish life, the central role of land in Irish history, the sense of a civic society, differences in urban and rural Ireland and the local and the universal.

Combining images of contemporary Ireland with an evocative blend of archive footage, this searching documentary questions what persists rather than the temporary fluctuations and trends, and talks to some of those uniquely placed to comment on how this country has evolved.
