Christy Moore

The death of Sinéad O’Connor was both sad and shocking and the reaction to her premature passing, in Ireland and from across the world, was instant and profound. Tributes poured in from home and abroad, ranging from President Michael D Higgins to music royalty such as Madonna. With contributions from David Holmes, Christy Moore, Imelda May, Don Letts, BP Fallon and many more, this documentary reflects on Sinéad O’Connor’s influence on Irish life and Irish people throughout her life. Using a wealth of unique archive footage from RTÉ and international sources, it features an Ireland she fought against and the kind of Ireland she desired. From Pope John Paul arriving in Ireland to Charles Haughey and Gay Byrne, and on to the struggle for Irish women’s 'right to travel’ - it provides a visual backdrop to a changing society. Sinéad’s body of work provides the soundtrack.
