In 1954, photographer Dorothea Lange, at the time known worldwide for her reporting, travelled to County Clare in Ireland as special correspondent for Life magazine. She took 2,400 photographs to document a mode of rural life that was soon to disappear. In her first feature, Irish director retraces Dorothea Lange?s steps, traveling over country roads and meeting up with many of the men and women immortalized by the camera lens of the celebrated photographer almost five decades previously. Present-day images are a counterpart to records from the fifties, registering personalities true to their native land.
