1934 saw the release of a remarkable work by Robert Flaherty , often called the 'father of the documentary film'. It was Man of Aran a dramatic portrait of life on the islands off the West coast of Ireland.
Forty-four years later, documentary film-maker
George Stoney revisited the original locations. Through conversations with the islanders, he examines Flaherty's film.
Was it, as some have said, a 'mockumentary' or was
Flaherty the first 'film poet'? Produced by GEORGE C. STONEY ASSOCIATES
