Inspiring story ends Brigid 1500 film season

A strong title, La Syndicaliste, concluded the Brigid 1500 Film Season in Kilcullen Town Hall and Heritage centre last night, writes Teresa Nurse. It was the inspiring and harrowing story of Mayo woman Maureen Kearney, pictured above with actress Isabelle Huppert who plays her in the film. 

The audience was captivated and moved by the portrayal of Maureen’s ordeal and the realities of corporate corruption. Maureen while relatively unknown in Ireland is famous in France as a whistle blower who took on powerful French nuclear companies but endured unimaginable trauma as a result. 

It was a gripping story of perseverance and fight for justice.
