Isteach Chun an Oileain (Into the Island)

An Irish language documentary featuring the natives of Inishbofin Island off the coast of Donegal, which is only habitable during the summer months.

An Irish language documentary featuring the natives of Inishbofin Island off the coast of Donegal, which is only habitable during the summer months, whether by humans or by the rare and elusive corncrake. The film chronicles the annual migration of the two populations to the island - the return of the corncrakes from sunnier climes and that of various families and individuals from the mainland to their ancestral homes where, isolated from most modern conveniences, they struggle to preserve a dying way of life.
