Documentary On One: In the Same Boat
Earlier this year, a Dublin woman called Fiona Tiernan had an idea: A dragon boat racing team for survivors of breast cancer. She had no crew, no boat, no paddles and no money. But, just six months later, two forty foot long dragon boats – “Anna” and “Livia” – were filled with a crew of forty women, all dressed in pink, paddling on the Grand Canal Dock in Dublin. The “Plurabelle Paddlers” was launched. This documentary records their journey getting there.
Recorded and compiled by Nicoline Greer with production assistance by Eva Roither.
