Directed by Chris Eipper, Declan Mortimer Eipper
In Ireland, If you re hungry enough, you ll dig up the tar on the road with your teeth to get a vote. It s not only the other parties who are a threat to you; it s your running mate. Indeed, it is the internal rivalry that can be the most bitter and acrimonious , as well as the more entertaining. Based upon three decades of ethnographic research, “All Politics is Local” is the story of a rural Irish election campaign that becomes as suspenseful as it is surprising; a memorable drama with a vivid cast of characters leading to an unexpectedly poignant conclusion.
