PAVEE LACKEEN (2005)
PERRY OGDEN
Plot
Winnie is a ten-year old Irish traveller girl, who lives with her mother and siblings in a ramshackle trailer on the side of the road in a desolate industrialised area of Dublin. The wee lass fills her time wandering through the run-down shops and stalls of Dublin's inner city, while her mother Rosie struggles to get her family housed by the local council. Pavee Lackeen is an unflinching portrait of a marginalised community often living in Third World poverty in a modern, prosperous Ireland.
