Capuchin Day Centre to feature in new documentary

A new bilingual documentary called ‘Sail Faoi Ghlas’ that will air next week, on Wednesday November 18, on TG4 at 9.30pm will feature Dublin’s Capuchin Day Centre.

Saol Faoi Ghlas – an chéad dianghlasáil, is a one-hour documentary that follows the lives of ordinary Irish people in extraordinary times, from April to September 2020, as we lived through Ireland’s Covid-19 lockdown.

In March 2020, our lives were turned upside down as we were forced to come to grips with the implications of living under the shadow of a global pandemic. Following unique characters and stories, Saol Faoi Ghlas captures an unprecedented time in Ireland’s history as it explores the added challenges living under lockdown.

Featuring a mixture of self-shot and documentary footage from characters in every province in Ireland, this documentary is a snapshot into a time where we as a people struggled with the new demands placed on us. Despite the personal hardship suffered by those featured in this documentary, this is ultimately a story of hope that reminds us of our resilience and strength as individuals and as communities.

In Dublin, the Capuchin Day Centre struggles with the growing numbers of people arriving to their centre for food and clothes as the pandemic takes its toll on those already struggling in Irish society.
