Wild Bunch (Gealtra)

Set in the vibrant heart of Knocknaheeny, this documentary by Brendan Canty (Christy) follows a group of teenagers from The Kabin Studio, a youth-led creativity hub, as they embark on a journey to explore their identities through music, poetry, and the Irish language. Under the mentorship of spoken word artist Séamus Barra Ó Súilleabháin, the young participants dive deep into their personal histories, cultural heritage, and the power of creative expression. 

Through workshops, performances, and conversations, we witness the young artists finding their voices, examining the role of Irish in their lives, and creating original work that reflects who they are and where they come from.

At the centre of it all is The Kabin Studio - more than just a space, it is a sanctuary. A place where young people are empowered to express themselves, connect with others, and build confidence through creativity. As we observe the deep impact The Kabin has had on so these young people, we discover a story of inclusivity, joy, and the life-changing power of community and self-expression.

REVIEWS

Allan Hunter for Screen Daily: “The youngsters here find their voices and feel seen. There is also a persuasive sense that music has a significant role to play in the the grass roots revival of the Irish language.”
