OILEÁN is a new, engaging and visually beautiful series of six individual programmes shot on six islands off the coast of Ireland.
The programmes each tell an unusual tale and reveal an unusual insight – not just into one particular island, they tell us something about ourselves because after all we are all islanders.
The third programe in the series is entitled Oilean: Atlantis. On the edge of Western Europe – Inishfree off Burtonport, Co. Donegal was home in the 1970’s to an unusual community called “Atlantis”. Known locally as “The Screamers” because of their particular take on psychiatry and their practice of “screaming” therapy.
