Blue Road: The Edna O'Brien Story

A lyrical, intimate portrait of one of Ireland’s most fearless and influential writers. Blue Road traces Edna O’Brien’s journey from rural Ireland and the censorship of The Country Girls, through decades of groundbreaking work that challenged societal norms and reshaped Irish literature. Featuring candid interviews with O’Brien herself — now in her nineties — and beautifully woven archive footage, this evocative documentary is as bold, poetic, and unflinching as its subject.

A must-see for readers, rebels, and lovers of great storytelling.
