About this listen
After a recent screening of Peter Lennon's 'The Rocky Road to Dublin' at the Kiln Cinema in Kilburn, the restorer of the classic documentary Sé Merry Doyle conducted a Q&A with Eeva Lennon, the late director's wife. Eeeva tells untold stories about the making of the film and how Peter secured the money to make the film from his base in Paris. Peter and his cameraman Raoul Coutard set out on an amazing journey back to Dublin and the resulting film caused a major backlash from the conservative forces in Ireland. Peter's film poses the question, "what do you do with your revolution once you've got it?" It argues that Ireland was dominated by cultural isolationism, Gaelic and clerical traditionalism at the time of its making.
