Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill have created the original score
for the award-winning film
"Photos to Send."
Dierdre Lynch's stunning documentary walks in the footsteps
of Dorothea Lange's 1954 visit to County Clare on assignment
for Life magazine.
Lange had met and photographed many people
around Mt. Callan in the fall of that year, and has left a legacy
of magnificent photographs and her impressions of a noble community.
Nearly half a century later Ms Lynch went back and spoke with
some of those same people, and the film that has emerged is
an intimate and poignant view of life in Ireland today in relation
to those photos and notes of 1954.
