Irish Spotlight
North Circular
This profoundly moving documentary, filmed in black and white, is beautiful and quietly reflective, assembling landmarks, people, stories and music around Dublin’s North Circular Road. It evokes the troubled past, the protest and struggles of those communities through the voices of a host of colorful characters. Warmed by the vibrant music of new wave Irish folk singers, the film is joyous in victories such as saving the landmark Cobblestone pub from demolition. Throwing light on people’s struggles everywhere, defending community against developers, the scenes of celebration inspire a spirit of optimism.
