WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Set on a construction site in Baile Gall in the west of Ireland, The Blowin of Baile Gall centers on four workers struggling to build their futures in a changing world. When the General Contractor returns from America and hires an African refugee (the "blowin") instead of a local, generations of grudges, boiling just below the surface, are unearthed.
