In a remote corner of the west coast of Ireland sits the picture-perfect Broadhaven Bay, where the cliffs of Erris Head and the Stags of Broadhaven stand sentry against the mighty Atlantic, as if protecting the delicate golden sands of Glengad beach and the tiny village of Rossport, nestling behind the dunes. However, this tranquil image belies the turmoil beneath, and the unique nature of this coastline, which has sustained generations of farmers and fishermen, has made it a target for Shell Oil as the point of landfall for its new Corrib Gas Pipeline. This award-winning documentary from news cameraman-turned-film director Risteard ѠDomhnaill follows the struggle of a tragically divided community against one of the most powerful corporations in the world, over a pipe that could bring economic prosperity, or destruction of a way of life shared for generations.
