The documentary series ‘Fíorscéal’ kicks off with the Irish broadcast premiere of John & Gerry McColgan’s hard hitting film, ‘This is Palestine’.
The new season of Fíorscéal begins with a powerful documentary by multi-award winning producer and director John McColgan. John and his brother Gerry travelled to the West Bank and Gaza with Trócaire to document the lives of people living a daily reality of military occupation and economic blockade.
‘This Is Palestine’ documents McColgan's journey and features powerful interviews with the people he met along the way. The film shows the urgent need for a renewed effort to bring a lasting peace to all the people of this region.
