- Since ancient times the seventh son has been said to possess great magic. They are healers, in tune with nature, animals, and all living things.
- Filmed over the course of two years, My Trans Life offers an intimate portrait of the lives of five young transgender people on their journey to transition. In July 2015 Irish citizens were given the right to change their legal gender based on self-identification alone, without medical or state intervention, making Ireland a global leader in trans-rights and one of just five countries in the world that has legislation based on self-determination. This legal recognition gave many Irish transgender people the courage to publicly come out and live as the gender they identify with. Today, at least one per cent of the population or some 46,000 people, experience some form of gender variance. My Trans Life documents the progress the trans community have made in recent years, as well as the struggles they are still engaged in for acceptance and understanding.
- Git, Costello and Willa Lee are street poets, hip-hop artists and songwriters from north Dublin. For these young men self-expression in the form of poetry, rap and song has become a spiritual experience. Their aim is simply to articulate the chaos that surrounds them and to fight it with their words and voices alone. In the end, the place where they live and their words are one and the same, constantly in flux, full of darkness and light. It is proof that these suburbs - that have bred darkness, murder and hate - have also inspired poetry and these unlikely artists are using words alone to fight back.

- This TV documentary shows a unique collection of stunning, original photographs, and outlines a fascinating social history and celebration of people and places from the photographer John Walsh's life's works. When photographer John Walsh, a well-known chronicler of ordinary life in the Liberties, died in 1999, his granddaughter Suzanne Behan uncovered decades worth of negatives going right back to the Forties. Not just a jobbing photographer, John was passionate about recording the lives and people around him. Of the roughly 100,000 negatives, some feature important family occasions like weddings and communions, but many more, taken in homes, schools and out on the streets, capture the pulse of everyday life in the Liberties. Suzanne, a photographer herself, was recovering from cancer and had some time on her hands. She took a box of negatives from the shed in her mother's garden and brought them to her own home for scanning. There she set up a Facebook page called 'The 50 Francis Street Photographer' to see if anyone could identify those featured in the photos. The response was overwhelming and soon she found herself reuniting people with their precious family photos, many of which had never been collected.
