Beara People

'Beara People' is a documentary about the Beara Peninsula, its history, and a cross-section of some of the people who live there.
Research, interviews and filming were carried out by TY students from Beara Community School during 2019/2020, mentored by Cork Young Filmmakers/Cork Film Centre.
The project was funded under the Cork County Council Municipal District Arts Development Fund in partnership with Beara Community School and Beara Peninsula Youth Development UBU Foróige.

I've always wondered where my near superhuman strength, both mind and body (4'11" woman) came from, and now I know.
I descend from the O'Sullivans, Harringtons, O'Learys, and McCarthys of Beara (plus several Gaughran and Lowneys). I now have no questions, and I am proud to carry such special history in my DNA and wish I could have shared some of this with the generation between. I don't know what they knew.
I would love to come live there, my body is drawn there and there nothing I can do about it. Enjoy home, everyone.

Well done! That’s a treasure trove of fine interviews with great people, professionally filmed.

My Grandfather, John Patrick Sullivan was from Beare Island. I got the chance to briefly visit a few years ago but I’d love to go back to do more exploring. None of my immediate relatives are there anymore. They moved up to Dublin or left Ireland, as did my grandfather, who moved to Boston it’s so many others, in 1912
