Exchanging Stories
2017

There’s a wall between filmmaker Megan Murphy’s house and her aunt’s house. Her family on one side are travelers. On the other, they’re not. The Irish Travelers are a traditionally itinerant ethnic minority formally recognized by the Republic of Ireland in 2017. Hardened Concrete by Megan Murphey brings together family members from either side to discuss identity and confront this divide. TRANSCRIPT

This film was produced by Megan Murphy and Elena Horgan.
