Set between 2023 and 2025, this documentary follows Irish Green Party leader and Cabinet Minister Eamon Ryan during his final 18 months in government. Once buoyed by Europe's Green wave, Ryan now faces waning public interest in climate issues as he advocates globally for renewable energy and climate justice for the Global South. At home, he battles public resistance, political pressure, online abuse and far-right pushback while the Irish Greens implement one of Europe's most ambitious climate plans. Interwoven is his tender relationship with his autistic son, Tommy, reflecting his persistence, empathy, and belief that lasting change -- whether in politics or family -- requires patience and hope.

In the end, I think it’s much like the Green Party itself; maybe not 100% what it’s doing 100% of the time, but you’d miss it if it wasn’t there. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Oct 21, 2026
4/5
Ní Chianáin captures the sense of monumental shift – coming one way or another no matter what we do – with images of giant, ancient trees uprooted in a valley through which the flood waters have passed. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
