The Broken Compass

For the UN Eradication of Poverty day 2023, Doras Buí created a space where the people from the community could come together and support each other during this harsh period of crisis; while using their creativity and skills they created a short movie that would represent their stories.

 

A group of amazing women from Doras Bui’s community came together in strength to raise their voices and as a result “The Broken Compass” came to life. A short film by Doras Buí’s participants about Ireland’s Economical Crisis.

 

On the 9th of November 2023 we carried out the presentation event, where the movie “The Broken Compass” was premiered, and the results of the project were shared with the rest of the community.
