Filmed in Kilronan, Inis Mór, Co. Galway, this documentary presents life on Ireland's Aran Islands, a beautiful, rugged, and remote locale where survival was a constant struggle.
Featuring scenic shots of seaside cliffs and rocky expanses, the film, which takes a few fictional liberties, shows islanders fishing and farming in inventive ways in order to keep food on their tables.
While some dramatic moments reveal a sense of narrative, the main draw of the production is the stunning scenery.
Written & Directed by Robert J. Flaherty
Starring: Colman 'Tiger' King, Maggie Dirrane (nee Mullin), Michael Dirrane
