The Tribe of Gods / Treibh na nDéithe
Tory Island is a small Irish-speaking community on Ireland's most remote inhabited island. For almost 25 years, Patsy Dan Rodgers has been Tory's king, working constantly to secure their unique way of living. When the island's ferry is replaced - it's the daily link to the mainland - the islanders feel their views are being ignored, and a campaign to reverse the decision begins. Patsy's health declines as the campaign takes off, and he passes away quite suddenly while on the mainland for treatment. Can the Tory community, on the very margins of Ireland and Europe, preserve their unique way of life, with or without a king?
