Tory Island, a small island off the coast of Donegal, is the setting for this compelling documentary that follows the island’s 101 Irish-speaking inhabitants. Faced with fishing restrictions, unpredictable weather and a mainland ferry that isn’t up to par, we bear witness to how this small community must band together to protect their unique way of life.

Focusing on population decline and the common fisheries policy, this documentary forms an excellent basis for Senior Cycle Geography students studying Elective Units 4: Patterns and Processes in Economic Activities and 5: Patterns and Processes in the Human Environment.
