admin admin | 04-16 00:15

Brendan O'Connor talks to director Alan Gilsenan and producer Tomás Hardiman about their powerful new IFTA-nominated documentary The Days of Trees, which deals with Tomás's personal experience as a survivor of child sexual abuse - listen above.

In an remarkable interview, Tomás explores his journey through trauma and the power of forgiveness, and how the duo feels that while it frankly addresses a dark subject matter that has plagued Irish society for decades, The Days of Trees is ultimately an uplifting tale of healing and redemption.
