WILD STRAWBERRIES: PROMISED LAND

Director: Gus Van Sant

106 minutes, U.S.A.-U.A.E., 2012


Wild Strawberries is our bi-monthly film club for over 55s.

Matt Damon is slick energy salesman Steve Butler who, with his sidekick Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), sets out to persuade McKinley locals to sell up their land for fracking – the controversial method of extracting gas from underneath the land. 

What he expects to be a matter of easy persuasion becomes a Samson-and-Goliath struggle of small town versus corporate greed. A thought-provoking drama that has relevance for communities across Ireland today.

€3.85 including regular tea/coffee before the screening. Wild Strawberries is our film club for over 55s. If you are lucky enough to look younger, please don’t take offence if we ask your age.
