SAOL ÚR IN ALBAIN (New Life in Scotland)
60 min. Irish with English subtitles.
Saol Úr In Albain is a celebration of what was once Donegal’s biggest export - it’s people. The shared experiences of the last generation of Donegal women to travel to Glasgow in search of work is the subject matter of this documentary.
Bridget McGee, Nan Smullen, Nancy Gallagher, Mary McGinley, Maighréad Bn Úi Ghallchóir, Rose McGeady, Margaret Coyle, Maire Rua Gallagher, Annie Greene and Margaret O’Malley take us on the nostalgic journey of their lives. In the industrialised era of the 1940’s and 50’s these teenage girls from Donegal travelled ‘over by’ to Glasgow to find work in domestic service, on Glasgow’s trams or buses and in factories. Each story is an individual experience, but collectively they retell of a bygone era in Donegal history and it’s second home of Glasgow. 60 min. Irish with English subtitles.
