Uprooted by FREDERICK AICKEN based on the short story by FRANK O'CONNOR with Desmond Cave and Barry McGovern
Two brothers, a priest and a schoolteacher, return to their home in a small fishing village in the West of Ireland. At first it seems their journey is no more than duty, but a visit to a nearby island leaves them with a sense of loss that is both real and acute.
Directed by ROBERT COOPER BBC Northern Ireland long wave only
