Ó Chúil Aodha Go hÓileán Í (From Coolea to Iona)

Director: Dónal Ó Céillachair


A documentary tribute to a community in the West Cork Gaeltacht where men of all ages and from all walks of life gather every Sunday to sing with Cór Chúil Aodha. Founded by legendary Irish composer Seán Ó Riada and continued by his son Peadar, the choir embodies the spirit of an area that is steeped in poetry and music.

The film follows the choir as they prepare for a visit to the island of Iona with President Michael D. Higgins.
