A
Screening of King of the Travellers, Part of the Irish Popcorn
Film Series presented by Solas Nua
King of the
Travellers is a contemporary drama grounded in
the traditions of the Irish traveller community and driven
by emotive Shakespearean themes of love, betrayal, friendship
and revenge. The story follows John Paul Moorehouse on his
destructive quest to uncover the truth about the killer of his
father twelve years ago. John Paul's desire for revenge is
swayed as he falls for Winnie Power, the daughter of the man
he suspects killed his father. John Paul must now battle
between his consuming passion for justice versus his desire to
be with the woman he now loves.
