With contributions from David Holmes, Christy Moore, Imelda May, Don Letts, BP Fallon and more, this documentary reflects on Sineád O’Connor’s influence on Irish life and people. Five months after her shocking passing, SINÉAD revisits the late singer’s tumultuous life and the film is both a deeply sad and celebratory tribute. Drawn together from RTÉ’s own expansive archive of her TV appearances and footage from around the world, it is an absorbing take on a story that many of us already know very well. However, looking back now after her death, the film pulls into sharp focus just how brave and defiant Sinéad really was.

How can we rethink our ways of learning and transmitting knowledge? This film answers this question through the creation of a unique bachelor’s program: the Arts and Sciences Bachelor. The origin of this bachelor lies in the uprising against the 2009 reform of the university. During three years, students explore knowledge through the intertwining of different subjects. Indeed, they discover every aspect of color in sociology, chemistry, and literature.
