The Road to Purgatory
Single Screen Film.
2020.
Do wars really end?
The notion of Purgatory, this nothing place between heaven and hell where sins must be repented, provides a framework to explore life ‘after’ conflict. This video work documents the physical journey to what is believed to be the earthly location of Purgatory, an island on the Irish border. Along the way, short stories interject, casting the shadow of a conflict that lives on.
