Description

Sponsored by Ranger Piplines Producer Michael Mallie, (Tara Films) will join us in conversation following the screening. The story of Sinéad O'Connor's rise to worldwide fame, and how her iconoclastic personality resulted in her exile from the pop mainstream. Focusing on prophetic words and deeds across a six-year period (1987-1993), the film reflects on the legacy of this fearless trailblazer, through a contemporary feminist lens. This archive-led documentary features era-defining music and videos and concert performances alongside a range of contributions from friends and fellow artists and wealth of unseen footage conjuring a vivid reminder of life in Ireland at this time. The film is underpinned by a new interview with Sinead herself, in which she reflects on her early career, her visibility and her vulnerability as a radical young woman on the world stage.
