My documentary ‘Last Resort’ about the lives of migrant women living in Salthill was screened as part of NUI’s Women in Action activities, Friday 26th, 6pm Crane Bar, Galway.
Last Resort is a short documentary film about Salthill, Co. Galway, told from the perspective of three African women. One of Ireland’s major seaside resorts has become home to an immigrant community where hundreds of refugees are housed in a hotel that has been converted into a direct-provision hostel. Last Resort is a lyrical postcard, detailing a contrasting landscape through the eyes of these newcomers.
