Born That Way + Director Q&A

English | Ireland | 95mins | 2025 | Cert: CLUB | Dir: Éamon Little 

A film about Care. And Love. And Patrick Lydon. 

★★★★★ "... a desperately moving and beautifully made documentary about a gentle hero who deserves greater recognition." – Donald Clarke, The Irish Times 

In a small wooden house in County Kilkenny, Ireland, Patrick Lydon’s life is ebbing away. Throughout his final year, he reflects on an extraordinary life that took him from a budding career in rock journalism in America to trailblazing, with his wife Gladys, the development in Ireland of the radically inclusive Camphill Movement, sharing life in community with people of diverse needs and abilities.

At a time when it couldn’t be more needed, Patrick’s story and his unique lens on the world ask searching questions about ideas of community and inclusion and shine a special light on the otherness of others in our society.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Éamon Little, hosted by novelist and poet Conor O'Callaghan.
