Launch of “Why Wouldn’t You?”
What a morning at the launch of “Why Wouldn’t You?” — a powerful 12-minute short film shot in parts during the latest Christmas Fair 2014 in Mud Island Community Garden!
Here you can view ‘Why Wouldn’t You?’
The film, created by DCU’s Irish Refugee Integration Network (IRIN) and Sanctuary, shines a light on solidarity, inclusion, and what it really means to build welcoming communities. It’s a moving, visually rich portrait of people coming together across difference to support those who have been forcibly displaced.
Alongside the film, a brilliant companion manual has also been launched — a practical resource packed with tools, real stories, and creative approaches for educators and community groups across Ireland.
We also got to hear the beautiful voice of Liam Ó Maonlaí acapella!
