Absolutely fucking stunning.
ChewingSand thank you for sharing this Hazel. Such powerful, beautiful words.
I've typed and retyped my comment as I can't think of the right words for this so I'll just agree with @ChewingSand :)
I keep going back to watch it - just one more time. Stunning.
You need to broaden your horizons. This is bog-standard stink. Google Mike Skinner/Howard Marks/John Cooper Clarke. These guys have been rattling this shit off effortlessly for years.
DoctorMeatDic Do they also share an Irish message of 'this lack of bodily autonomy is killing us'? Do share
Such an immersive video and performance, can't stop watching it. Fair play Emmet, Dave, and the actress, keep it up lads.
'and the actress'
@@brianbriggz who is she so
@@jay_frfx Jordanne Jones pal
I come back and watch this every so often and every time it hits the same. So powerful.
Magnificent!
Melanie Murphy so are you x

Fantastic. Powerful and brilliant.
PROUD To Be White Great argument.
Riveting. Congratulations on a brilliant piece of important writing/filmmaking.
Amazing!
Even better than when I saw it as part of RIOT.
Congrats Dave & Emmet and all involved :)
A naive girl loses her virginity to a naive boy. But her loss is a burden far greater than the guilt-free boy. 'Young one' is a single mother now, just like her mum. I'm astonished to see / hear a man expressing feminine indignation.
Dara Dynamite speak up. We never see you in real life. ever
Dara Dynamite I literally have never seen a man like that.
Dara Dynamite Sorry for coming off as sexist, I genuinely never meant to, it's just the truth, (In my experience anyway). It's obviously different elsewhere.
To all the guys in the comments calling this video sexist : this is just art, describing a reality for a lot of women. It is a fact, not an exaggeration, this is REALITY for tons of women accross Ireland, Europe, and the world. This piece is mainly about abortion, not about demonizing half of the population. It is a FACT that women undergo a lot of verbal and physical forms of violence, throughout their life, and it is a fact that these violences are almost always perpetrated by men...
I have a question for you : would you say that a poem denouncing an unfair bill or law for black people is demonizing white people ?? How do you solve an issue if you can't even describe it, talk about it, write poems about it? Just because some men are the cause of suffering for many women, we wouldn't be allowed to talk about these women and their experiences because some of you get all defensive ? Should I start getting mad about all these singers talking about breakups and saying how women are liars and cheaters and whatever else ? I mean that kind of is demonizing women. But of course I shouldn't get mad, because who am I to deny their experience of life ?
who are you to deny Irish women's reality ?
Could you please make a poem about the realities for fathers across Ireland please? Exclude all of the bad things though, like the lack of rights for unmarried fathers, automatic custody granted for mothers, how maintenance sways in favour of the mother, when custody is contested it still favours the mother?
Thanks x
Laura Chaignon I agree that there are huge issues with women, but these issues should not be dealt with by painting men to be vicious creatures who are the root of all evil. This will not solve the issue. The racism crisis in America was not solved by members of the black community attacking the white community and blaming them all. Maybe once women stop generalising men to illustrate their issues, it will be a lot easier to implement gender equality
"these issues should not be dealt with by painting men to be vicious creatures who are the root of all evil." ... How do you do represent male violence against women without showing men behaving badly....? I'm curious. Also maybe you are exaggerating a bit here ? That's very strong vocabulary haha "There are huge issues with women", and I'll tell you, unfortunately, as you probably already know, the issues are not falling from the sky on our unprepared head, the issues are steming from men (at least the one addressed here) ... I am sorry about that, but you can't change the fact that it's reality, it's just how things are... we "use" men to illustrate our issues, because that's the only way to illustrate them... How do you talk about sexual harrassment, rape, or anything of the sort without actually talking about men ? I'm really curious to see how you'd do that...
I have NEVER generalized men, and condemn such generalization, I truly doubt some people actually believe all men are evil, I mean he is a man himself, isn't he? I think the "generalization" vibe you get from it is because the author wanted to show that these issues aren't seldom occurances but a systemic, societal problem. And that's an important part. It's the tale of women, with a big w. Not just this woman or that woman and the rest are safe and sound. I whish it was the case obviously. He is showing men as a group (not as a whole though) in a place of power against lower class women. It is a 6 minutes video, maybe that's why it looks a bit manichean to you. Surely every woman meets a man she likes, or loves, and that makes her happy (friends, family, lovers, etc), but his purpose was not a depiction of a woman's life, but the nightmare around being unable to get an abortion. I agree, this is mostly a very negative message, a very dark picture.
To be really honest with you, I understand that this very negative depiction of men makes a lot of you uncomfortable, like a lot of other things you hear and see in the media. I would be uncomfortable too, I would be ashamed, and angry to be represented as such. But don't you think the answer here is, instead of reacting to these unpleasant feelings, acknowledge your anger, your disgust, and accept that fighting against these behaviours is a good thing, that would benefit all of us ?
Yes, there are extremist feminists (I am yet to meet one, though) but there are extremist anything. If you feel that gender issues is something you care about, go for it, talk to your friends, get involved. You know how I was saying that men are involved in most of women's issues, well it is also the other way around. what you said about divorce and child custody, these are problems that are related to women... That's why I truly believe that feminists are going to have to enter the discussion of men's rights, and men are going to have to accept to walk with feminists. It is going to be a bumpy ride, that's certain, and we are going to need a lot of compassion, a lot of love, empathy and be very courageous. But maybe we can do it. I have been to men's rights discussions in Canada and most of them acknowledged that the feminist fights were good inspiration for them. I don't believe this is a war, but a struggle, and that's very different.
ps : If I can talk a bit more about his depiction of men, actually, I think the father of the wee boy is not demonized. I would say he is just the allegory of a generation of young men, who are doing their best but don't have the tools, the money or the choice to do so. I think this man here was shown as a victim of the abortion ban as well, utterly helpless. But that's just a poetic interpretation, I don't know if that's a good ground for debate.
Counter suppression? This is not targeting all men -- I'm a man and I did not feel suppressed, I felt empathy -- this is targeting bigoted people. What are men suffering from exactly that makes them whine about women wanting to be in control of their bodies? I'm a man and I don't understand men like you with such pride that they can't even imagine what it's like to be in another person's shoes.
Oh, so sorry to SUPPRESS you. I don't understand people who can't empathize with women! WTH. They have to go through body pains and social miseries that most men wouldn't be able to handle. Every woman has to grow up YEARS before boys do, as they bleed down their legs in embarassment. You know how they say women grow up faster than men? It's because they have to face biological reality in their youth and then continue to feel those changes as they give birth and their body changes over time and then menopause. Do you not understand science??
How do you even justify your point of view? The Bible says so? What?! How is this counter suppression?! In high school my friends always made fun of the girls who got pregnant and had to take time off from school. Why? I never thought it was okay then and plenty of men don't think it's okay now. So, what YOU speak for all men? No, you don't. You speak for yourself. Selfish.
Wow, the first argument I’ve seen on UA-cam that didn’t include only “Fuck you” and “Stfu you gay fag” this argument had an actual structure, great job guys!👍🏻😂
A very important video. Brilliantly made, written and performed. :)
This is indescribably brilliant. I have tears in my eyes, congratulations on producing such a powerful piece.
this was fuckin class lads
I'm so sad I'm not a native speaker and couldn't understand most of this, though the feeling came strong to me
Bedside Table "Native ?" it's in English.
Bedside Table yeah ye mad thing it's in English 😂😂😂
I'm not a native ENGLISH speaker
I like how surprised y'all are :p
To be fair, a non-Irish English speaker could have difficulty with it. Partly due to accent but also slang.
Still came back here time to time. It's so good stuff.
This is unbelievable! More emotion than most movies could portray.
Probably the best poetry film EVER made. I saw it twice at Zebra Poetry Film Festival--Munster 2018 and wept both times, but not out of sadness...out of joy for the hope that is shown at the end for the next generation with the young mother and her son charting a course and doing the dedicated work to change the world. Heart break? Heart MEND.
A beautiful piece of cinema and poetry. Thank you.
Wonderful Emmet! Blew me away!! Powerfull stuff. Well done.
this was the most powerful thing I've ever seen
this is FUCKING DEADLY. Emmet Kirwan... You are the Next Seamus Heaney. Better than Seamus Heaney. A big Dublin 12, Crumlin Road Thank You from an Irish Immigrant across the pond. Who had to cross that other pond. Once. Who had the money and the daddy to pay for it. Though he too was from D12. You nailed it. Love from a Paddy Woman in the U.S.A. YOU FUCKING ROCK.
Its not a sexist message when you consider the fact it really is men who sexually hound women. Seriously how often do you see a woman shouting with a group of girls for a guy to come over in a sexual way or hear women making passing sexual comments and gestures or wolf whistling? It just doesnt happen. The only time Ive seen it from a woman or a gang of women is when they are just messing with their male friends or they are drunk and there is back and forth banter.

That is true, but men shouldn't be demonised as a group. Most men wouldn't even have the courage to talk to women they don't know, but sjw's seem to focus on the group that not only can talk to strange women, but also have the balls to shout and beguile them. Not all men should be portrayed in that way
Mary Rose Roche No.iv lived in this city for 6 years.I'm now 16.not only have I seen it but iv experienced it on many occasions.I'm afraid you have fallen for the lies of the feminist agenda.
Hold the phone there love. I have never, ever, witnessed women being sexually hounded or catcalled. No rose tinted glasses here, I just have never heard of it. However, as a young man who works in a bar and cub, I can tell you how astonishingly often it is that I am subjected to certain behavior from women, where if the genders were vice versa and the behavior was the same, there would be outright war.
To all the men commenting about men being 'demonized', sit down and listen to the poem again. Not once are 'all men' accused of being the problem. This problem is very very real, nonetheless, even if you aren't part of it. Yeah, you're a nice guy. That doesn't make it ok for grown men to catcall girls on the street. No, we cant talk about the fact that some men will openly call you a bitch because you don't want their number, because NOT ALL men do that. You can't know how it feels to be a woman in that situation. Obviouslly 'all men' aren't like this. Men like this are a small but hugely vocal minority. they create the problem as discussed in this video. Stop making it about you, nice guys. This poem was written to empower, to speak out against patriarchal constraints that, yes, exist even today. Instead of tearing this poem down, listen to the words and the message. They include everyone.
Fucking hell!! This is out standing work? Well done it's about time it's all said.. Irish Film Bord is the way there !
I'm IRSH and i think this is absolutely true now we just need one for homelessness , to show ppl like this one that it needs to change put we done now lads
Stunning, thank you. Some women marry decent men, whilst other women raise them ♥️
Truly
This is the first poem that has ever made me cry. Thank you Emmet, for writing this. For inhabiting that young woman's experience, and all women in her shoes.
It's amazing
I'm actually speechless this is absolutely brilliant ❤
Brilliant and great that it's a males perspective but still do understanding of the reality of the situation. Amazing, powerful!
This is just fucking amazing!
Speechless after the power of both script and performance. My words of praise cannot do this fine piece of work justice!!
this video isn't sexist or anything like it its a man telling the story of some young women in Ireland and the struggles they face it never once insulted us males
this is excellent. it isnt anti-man or anti-life, its against ignorance, double standards and crudeness.
“Anti-life” oh PLEASE. pro-choice isn’t anti-life. Pro-life, however, is by definition anti-choice and you fuckwads don’t care about the children after they’re born. Kay why ess
Hair stands on my neck and I get teary eyed every time I watch this. I grew up in one of those housing estates as a young boy. So so powerful. Ordered the T-shirt. We should all be in awe of all Mná! Amazingly performed and directed. Makes me super proud of irish playwright and creation talent.
here, psst, feminism, I've got a secret for you. if you want to get a single message across to a huge number of people with varying levels in common that have different ideas, don't fucking group them together into a detestable stereotype. nobody will give a movement that's already accusing them of something they didn't do the time of day.
This reminded me of everytime I had 40 something year old men calling at me and friends when we were schoolgirls. When I was worried that people would think I asked for it when friend put his hands between my legs and touched up my tits in a public place (I had a bf at the time) even though I told him to leave me alone. the times I have seen older men (and women) talk about 15 year old rape victims of adults and say "But when I was 15 I was very grown up? she knew what she was doing". Abortion being commented on as murder and women made to feel like no matter what they do they are bad. keep the fetus - scrounger, abort the fetus - murderer, birth the fetus and have it adopted - neglectful. find your way in the world and work your way up - once a 'teem mum' always a 'teen mum' and everyone's jealous of the success.
the anxieties given to women about how they should pose in the world and what their roles should be is exhausting.
thank you for bringing light to this and to the insane abortion laws (not just in ireland) and attitudes towards it around the world. This was amazing to watch.
I've been watching this video for years now.....I love it
This was so utterly powerful, I still get goosebumps after the third or fourth time taking it all in.
LOVE LOVE LOVE. Thank you SO much for this beautiful, poignant art. Thank you for your feminism. Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your anger. Thank you for your voice.
Thank you for your feedback too Nick ✊🏿
Well done, Emmet! Very intense and gripping.
This is the greatest 6 Minutes and 52 seconds I have ever watched, thank you Emmett Kirwan for everything you do I love you. Yours Sincerely Oisin.
So powerful. Fantastic work!
Plot Twist: He is the little boy
Strong message, beautiful performance! Thanks for this. Hopefully, it will change some minds.
I like how their tackling REAL topics in life and how a little boy could make ALL the difference
Not To Be Mean But I Thought He Was Peter Parker
People are calling out men claiming the video 'sexist'? The only comments I see from men are commending it and adding to the importance of the message? What comments are yous reading?
It's not about men being villains. It's about the struggles of women who can't count on a man who got her pregnant and how her innocent life turns into an adult's life and a tough one.
Plus perhaps misogyny by those men who walk pass by her on the street and are offensive.
Ana Day if she likes it then she should've should of put a Jonny on it
A man who got her pregnant you say.
No, she got herself pregnant. She took off her knickers in a park, and fucked him. She is the person at risk of getting pregnant, she should have been just as careful as him. Both are fools but only her will pay the price. As she carries it. I'd love to see the change in statistics if the roles were reversed. How many men would part with the child after being pregnant for 9 months? And how many women would be a mother to a guy they fucked in a park.
irish warlord Jonny = condom?
Wassup What ifs are pointless.
No there theorising a problem help figure out problems without appling them practically this is usually done by men but women can also do it as well but I naturally comes to men more often as most men a practical and theorising is a very practical way of doing things is like the idea in which a project is based on scientists us it but ordinary people can also do it that is what Wassup is doing Ana day thats what he is doing by saying "what if" as it's a theoretical idea that could be scientifically proven but is unable to as the theory he has had is not viable for a practical appliance in real life due to what he proposed
Well, that brought a tear to my eye.
found myself standing and clapping in my room. amazing, absolutely fucking amazing
OH MY GOD... This couldnt have come at a better time because I am going trough SO MUCH rage lately at men and the way they treat women. And this describes EXACTLY what Im feeling. Total built up rage and emotion at how women are degraded in every day life, even mothers. Its disgusting and I felt completely enraged when the men in the video started objectifying the mother. I was boiling and glad she stood up! So inspirational and moving. I was crying. :( Most men will never understand. :(
Absolutely amazing
Outstanding.
Everyone moaning that this is stereotypical towards all men this video isn't stating every man does the things present but the fact that more men do it to women that's women do it to men great video in my opinion
Amazing.
This poetry film achieves so much, in such a short space of time. I will emphasise also, WATCH THE ENDING, people. The film just keeps getting better, and better, and better. Very professionally written and edited. To be fair, it's one of the most 'polished' poetry movies I've seen to date. Love it!
Ask a grubby blue shirt td for help......
Truly, fucking beautiful.
Wow!! This is so powerful. Incredible poetry!
Gripping angle and delivery, you had me for the entire piece. .....that’s hard to do to a 54 year old man of the world.
This is so empowering, it's amazing 😭👏🏻💕✊🏻
Wow. This is incredible.
I think this is brilliant can someone tell me why some are really pissed off or just think this is bullshit? Seems to give a lot.of insight to me :/
Heart aches, in both right and wrong places. Great work of art and politics.
Irish Young women / Mother's have it hard in these times and so do the young Fathers and Most parents of young kids in General. We should be very careful about what we take and interpret from all forms of media and how they portray stories of Young mothers and fathers. A Very well written and Spoken piece.
Jaysis Christ what a performance! What a piece. Wonderful work
The Luke Kelly of our time. Such an enchanting voice.
This is fucking masterful.
The delivery, the production, the message.
Powerful, fair play.
incredibly powerful.
thats fuckin class bro,
Poor her she can't kill her mistake.
Atomic Bunny That's discusting
He's Irish I understand cause I am Irish to
Unbelievable!!!! Masterpiece!!
Genius pure fuckin genius
Really well done and well said. Sad too tho! Too sad!
Brilliant Emmet. Well done.
It's a stunning work. I cried and shared. It would be nice to have either a subtitled version of the video or just the text online (I couldn't find it) to make the work more accessible to people who don't have English as their mother tongue.
Incredibly powerful, props due ;D
amazing work emmet.
I love this guy ❤️
Just wonderful. As a stand alone performance it would be brilliant. Having written it as well it shoots further skywards. Real ideas on real issues in a flowing , melodic , touching , topical delivery with a clear message of book length in such a short time frame. Angry young man with much to say and many to say it to. Write on and make a difference.
I love it 😭😘😭😘😭😘
Incredible. So powerful.
I've never cried so much. Thank You Emmet...for acknowledging the pain of a woman.
I can't believe the people commenting on this amazing video watched the same damn thing. This is not a piece against men. It's a piece FOR women. And no, we should not wear earplugs to stop catcalling. We should not dress differently just so men can feel comfy and not think about sex every 0.3 seconds. A woman shouldn't have to change A SINGLE THING about her appearance just to be treated with respect. You are not understanding the message of this poem. You are making excuses. Bullshit reasoning. Stop being so fucking "masculine". Having emotions is not weak. Showing them is not a weakness. Men are not devils and women are not innocent victims, but it is like that a lot of times. Majority of times. The woman in this story got chucked by a guy, that's nothing special. Even her getting pregnant in 15 is nothing special. But she raised a kid. She grew up, worked her ass off, she raised that boy as best as she could and made sure her kid had everyhitng he needed... And then, walking down the street WITH HER LITTLE SON she gets catcalled. She gets harassed. All the respect stripped from her. And she fights back. And shows he son that respect is what women deserve and what they should fight for. I don't think this generation of men can be changed. Just look at the fucking comments, they're all sooooo afraid they won't be able harass a woman on the street at their will. But we can change the next generation. We can change the children and how they view the world. Everyone should be treated equally. Women and men. And if you come at me with the "can I punch a woman then?" argument, let me just give you an answer in advance - you shouldn't be punching anyone, you aggressive pig.
Very very very good 😊
White Knight bullshit.
I've gotten used to being cat called but the other day a group of 40 odd year olds catcalled my 11 year old sister and I felt so powerless
Katie-Lucy sounds like bullshit no body actually catcalls anyone ever
Andrew Conneely Have you ever walked outside? Walked down a quiter, darker side street, alone, as a woman?
If so, you would know exactly the sort of situation that I'm talking about. Women don't speak about it because there is nothing they can do. You don't hear it, because sad, creepy men are too smart to say it in a public setting.
And if you truly belive what you said, you need a reality check.
please, publish the hole text for those who can't understand well spoken English! thnx!
thank you for spreading this message, absolutely amazing!!
I love this!! Actually brought tears x
Brilliant!
I'm speechless. This is so good
Powerful poetry powerfully performed
Amazing and powerful! beautifully written, performed and filmed. well done! on point as well.
