One Million Dubliners

Glasnevin Cemetery is the final resting place of 1.5 million souls; it is Ireland’s national necropolis. ‘One Million Dubliners’ reveals the often unspoken stories of ritual, loss, love, redemption, emotion, history -and the business of death. But this is really a film about life: the Saint Valentine’s Day rush in the florists; the American visitors eagerly searching for Irish ancestors; lost and longed for love; discovery and bereavement; earthy gravediggers and musicians in celebration. Above all, it’s the story of an immensely engaging Tour Guide shepherding his charges -and us- through the headstones and monuments, through opinions and beliefs.
