VIDEO: One of the more thought-provoking GE16 videos out there

Tony Cuddihy

Whether or not you agree with his policies, this election video will make you think.

Social Democrat Gary Gannon takes to the streets of Dublin Central and doesn’t hug a single baby, doesn’t flip any pancakes, doesn’t dance a jig and certainly doesn’t try to come up with his own theme song.

Filmed in a single take, it shows Gannon visiting a number of homes and listening to the concerns of people who can’t afford childcare, who fear being stuck on a trolley in hospital and who fear for their future – and their family’s future – in the job market.

It’s understated and all the more powerful for it.
