Based on his own book of the same name, Listen to the Land Speak sees Manchán Magan reveal the profound knowledge and wisdom contained in our landscape and myths. The film unfolds from Winter Solstice to Bealtaine through Reek Sunday to Samhain, exploring how the stories and myths associated with the rivers, mountains and lands around us are crucial to unlocking aspects of how we need to rebuild our relationship with nature today. But it also becomes an unexpectedly personal story as Manchán, who has since passed away, realises that there is a serious illness within himself that makes him see these ancient sites and beliefs in a whole new light.
