VIDEO: This evocative piece about Dublin shows the city’s good and the dreadful

"Dublin, can I trust you?"

Tony Cuddihy

This is a staggering piece of poetry, as Dublin looks to become the 2020 City of Culture.

Stephen James Smith’s remarkable study of Dublin, entitled ‘Dublin You Are,’ is set to images from the city and illustrations by Aoife Dooley.

It’s a savage and emotive piece of video and never shies away from showing the shittier side to life in the Irish capital.

It is a video worthy of fronting the campaign the make Dublin the 2020 City of Culture campaign, purely because it doesn’t pretend everything is perfect.

Watch it here, and the transcript is available over on the Newstalk website here.
