COLEEN

COLEEN is a film inspired by the Woman’s Liberation Movement in Ireland in the 1970’s. It is a story about a woman and her three daughters in the face of this movement- highlighting what it meant to be an Irish woman at that time.
We feel that it is a really timely and important story to tell. We wanted to shine a light on the bravery, courage and oppression experienced during these times.
