In this Reboot Republic podcast, Rory talks to writer & actor, Clare Dunne. Clare co-wrote, and starred in, the award winning film, Herself (2020), in Kin, and in many other TV & Theatre productions. This is an open, inspiring engaging discussion about where Ireland is today, our values, history, trauma and hope in new action for change.
We talk about Clare's motivation to engage in social issues, and researching and the story behind Herself, where a young mother, Sandra, escapes her abusive husband and fights back against a broken housing system. She sets out to build her own home, and in the process rebuilds her life and rediscovers herself. And how we can, through positive action and conversation, end homelessness and the housing crisis.
