In 1954, world-renowned photographer Dorothea Lange traveled to County Clare, Ireland, on assignment for Life magazine. She took 2,400 photographs, creating a lasting record of a rural way of life that would soon disappear. Irish-American cinematographer Dierdre Lynch retraces Lange’s footsteps, traveling the country roads to visit many of the same people Lange met nearly half a century ago and using the photographs to unlock the poignant—sometimes humorous, sometimes painful—memories of another era. What emerges is a sensitive and moving portrait of men and women who chose to stay on their land no matter what the price.
