Happy Saint Patrick's Day and the coming of Spring!

Journeys on Screen: One Million Dubliners

One Million Dubliners is very well done documentary about Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin, affectionately referred to as the National Cemetery of Ireland, the resting place of many of Ireland's rebels and heroes, writers and musicians, mums and dads. It is a fascinating look into not only the history of the cemetery and its cultural legacy but the day to day business of running such a place, of providing such an important service to families. This is a beautifully shot film, respectfully made. As you'll learn from the film, Glasnevin offers tours through which ages of Irish history is told in a profound and engaging way. This documentary helps tell its story.
