N/A
Director Des Bell documents 2 groups of Northern Irish youths from either side of the "divide" in the mid-90's, each dealing with their own struggles but with a shared love of dance music and going to Kellys at the weekend.
Titled after the autobiography of Mici MacGowan, who left his native Donegal for the United States in the late 1880s, this documentary portrays the Irish experience in America at its harshest. MacGowans early life as a migrant worker traveling between Ireland and Scotland acts as prelude to his departure for America and subsequent trek to the Yukon in search of gold. Narrated by passages from MacGowans book and illustrated with footage from documentary and fiction films of the period.
