Liam Clancy, whom Bob Dylan hailed as the greatest ballad singer of all time, is the subject of this definitive documentary by Alan Gilsenan whose feature film Timbuktu won our 2004 Best Feature Award.  Blending interviews with stunning archival footage, Gilsenan uncovers the real story behind the phenomenon that was The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. Taking us from the innocence of Clancy’s Irish childhood to the alcoholism and discord that dogged much of his adult life, the film is a testament to the lasting legacy of one of Ireland’s greatest musical ambassadors.
