Irish Film Institute -All Our Yesterdays

All Our Yesterdays

Director: Breege Rowley


Rooted in Swinford, County Mayo, All Our Yesterdays brings together the voices of a local community to tell a deeply human story of Ireland. Through rare archival cine film, photographs, letters, music, and personal testimony, the film traces over two centuries of lived experience — from famine and emigration to resilience, renewal, and the shaping of the global Irish diaspora. While rooted in Mayo, it speaks to a wider Irish story — the voices of a town telling the story of a nation.
