Documentary on Ireland's Camphill Communities pioneer to be screened in Carrick-on-Suir
Brewery Lane Theatre in Carrick-on-Suir will screen Eamon Little's award winning documentary Born That Way on Wednesday, December 3 at 8pm.
In a small wooden house in Co Kilkenny, Ireland, Patrick Lydon's life is ebbing away.
Throughout his final year he reflects on an extraordinary life that took him from a budding career in rock journalism in America to trailblazing, with his wife, Gladys, the development in Ireland of the radically inclusive Camphill Movement, sharing life in community with people of diverse needs and abilities.
This is a remarkable documentary portrait of Patrick Lydon's final year and won the Film Critics' Circle Best Irish Documentary at the 2025 Dublin Film Festival.
