'Route Irish' has been selected for screening at the 'Stranger Than Fiction' documentary festival. It will be shown in the IFI on Friday 26th September at 1pm. Details and booking information at this link http://strangerthanfiction.ie/route_irish.html

Information about the film and how to download a copy at this page: http://www.indymedia.ie/routeirish

Here's the blurb from the Stranger than Fiction Website:

"Make no mistake, Route Irish is a protest film. Made from what many would consider to be a radical point of view, Route Irish is certainly not the kind of film to be found on national television, nor circulating on the screens of our nation’s cinemas. In many ways, this is the film’s strength. Unbeholden to anyone, director Eamonn Crudden tells his story exactly as he wants. Gone are the focus pulls and sweeping scores of the high budget documentaries; Route Irish is a nuts and bolts activist film. Passionate and angry, Route Irish looks at the US invasion, via Shannon airport, of Iraq, and asks the question “what has happened to Irish neutrality?”.

"who stayed around to chant through the afternoon"

I knew the anti -war crowd was a bit of a cult but chanting now? for a whole afternoon? I'm surprised you didn't get turfed out of the IFI....

Thanks to all who attended

Nice to see a good crowd. Thanks to all who came along and particularly to those who stayed around to chant through the afternoon. Read Harry's book on the train home. It's excellent.

See you at this flick
