It is widely regarded as one of the greatest Irish-language novels of the 20th century. It is the life story of a young Gael held in Sligo Jail as he reflects on the dire poverty of his childhood and recalls the glamour of the city-dwellers who came to learn Irish and lecture the natives about how lucky they were. It stars the voices of <strong>Se\u00e1n Miste\u00e1l, Donncha Crowley, Tommy Tiernan and Bob Quinn. <\/strong>This animated adaptation is the first time that the book has been brought to screen and is also the animated debut for critically acclaimed feature film director, <strong>Tom Collins<\/strong>.\u00a0 Produced by Raw Nerve Productions Limited with financial support from Northern Ireland Irish Language Broadcast Fund, TG4 and the BAI.<\/p>\n<p>The animation is available to view on TG4\u2019s player here <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.tg4.ie\/en\/player\/home\/?pid=5686543502001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/dev.tg4.ie\/player\/baile\/?pid=5686543502001<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Images are available at <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHskxdTwqZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHskxdTwqZ<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rocky Ros Muc<\/strong> is an award-winning feature-length documentary film tells the story of Connemara-born boxer, Se\u00e1n Mannion, whose life and boxing career also serve as a window on the Irish emigrant experience in Boston in the grim 1980s. From the quiet Gaeltacht village of Ros Muc in County Galway, to the mean streets of Boston, this gritty yet heart-warming film examines the man&#8217;s spirit inside the ring and his troubles outside.. His rise up the professional ranks wasn&#8217;t straightforward. Neither was his descent. This is a story of survival, of determination, honour &amp; strength, a story about identity &amp; community.
