In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Producer Fiona Kinsella & Director Keith Farrell about their 3-part TV series Tráma Teaghlaigh, which starts on TG4 at at 9:30pm on Wednesday, 31st May 2023.

Tráma Teaghlaigh an innovative series investigates the fallout of the Irish Civil War though the lens of intergenerational trauma. How the war impacted on the state and subsequent generations of families involved in the conflict. Episode 1 – Reprisal – Explores the atrocities of Ballyseedy and the assassination of Kevin O’Higgins. These events had a profound impact on the families of the victims and left a lasting legacy of bitterness on the Irish political landscape. Focusing on the Fullers, O’Connor and O’Higgins-O’Malley families, we follow their path of reconciliation as they move beyond their trauma to use their experiences in the cause of peace.
