Eat Your Children

The film “Eat Your Children” is a provocation, an inside-out activist film, a film that attempts to document the invisible. It is a road-trip quest by two friends who emigrated from Ireland during the financial crash of 2008 and who have now returned to probe Ireland’s so-called acceptance of debt and austerity. The film uses a visual essay style that mixes observational footage, vox pop, music and archive material to unravel the modern incarnations of Irish identity, post-colonialism, nationalism, globalization and resistance.
