about the film : .

There is a place in the hills of Northwest Ireland, a land called Inishowen, where the Clan O’Dochartaigh once held unshakeable sway. They occupied a series of castles and keeps along the winding Irish countryside. They fought with immeasurable bravery and valor. They gained the respect of the British and lost it in the blink of an eye.

These are Jeff Campagna’s roots; follow him as his exciting and, at times, suprising ancestry is revealed to him.

Shot largely on location in Ireland, Roots of a Man includes a haunting soundtrack featuring Canadian fusion blues artist Harry Manx, Canadian rock artist Kevin Reid and Gaelic folk singer-songwriter Seoirse O’Dochartaigh.

Produced, written, directed and edited by Independent film-makers Matthew and Jeffery Campagna, Roots of a Man is a once-in-a-lifetime documentary that will leave you breathless.
