Interviews with economists, historians and others examine the socio-political, economic and psychological transformation of Irish society and culture.
Highly Recommended "Beautiful cinematography provides an attractive backdrop and heightens the poignancy of this film. The use of illustrations, photographs, and stills enhance the narrative.
