Seaview: Documentary about Mosney Refugee Camp

Irish documentary about asylum seekers nominated for IFTA. [....]

'As far as documentaries go about asylum seekers and the immigration debate, no other is as human and evocative as Seaview' Sheffield Doc/Fest

'Directors Paul Rowley and Nicky Gogan's approach to storytelling is solemn and innovative. This lyrical and deliberately displacing film captures the irony of a space repurposed and stories of migration put on hold.' Silverdocs

"Do you know what it means to leave everything you have as a human being and come to a country where you are a total stranger? I mean, it's not something you just wake up and decide to do." Mosney resident

Seaview - Feature Documentary Directed by Nicky Gogan and Paul Rowley Produced by Maya Derrington, Nicky Gogan and Paul Rowley

Director Nicky Gogan says "Every Irish person remembers spending holidays at Mosney, and it's incredible to see this familiar setting that still seems to resonate with so many of our pasts now used for a different purpose. The residents of Mosney each have their own story to tell, from the tragic to the heartwarming."
