synopsis
An Irish Atlantic Rainforest tells the story of Eoghan Daltun, a leading climate activist at the forefront to save native Irish rainforests in the face of climate change and political indifference.
From his inner-city Dublin upbringing, to his life as a sculptor, to now a best-selling author; Eoghan is a striking and inspirational figure who now finds himself custodian to one of the best examples of temperate rainforest in Ireland – having rewilded an old farm on the edges of the Beara Peninsula in West Cork.
A magnificent testimony to the difference that one man can make, "An Irish Atlantic Rainforest" is a vital piece of cinema. It leaves no room for excuses, letting land lie barren is a choice. Watching it, however, you’ll never feel that you’re being preached at. With its endlessly alluring imagery, this is an invitation to fall in love.

The amount of care taken to capture every insect, every fungus, is clear. To share that beauty with the audience is a love letter to Mother Nature herself.
