Kerry: Tides of Time is a two-part series that tells the multi-dimensional story of the Kerry landscape, from its earliest origins, deep in the geological past, right up to the present day. The story is told by those who know this county intimately. The biologists, historians, ecologists and archaeologists who spend their lives connected to this landscape provide personal, revelatory, and often emotional insight that drives the narrative.
The backdrop against which these films are set includes some of Irelands most iconic landmarks; from the Skellig Islands to Carrauntoohil – Ireland’s highest mountain – and the magnificent National Park in Killarney.
Part One – Sunday April 27 at 6.30pm on RTÉ One
Part one explores the deep history, geology, and human story of Kerry. Starting on an isolated stretch of rocky shoreline that reveals evidence of the very first vertebrate life on earth, it progresses to tell the fascinating story of human culture in the county. It is the story of constant struggle between our ancestors who sought to make a living among the woods, mountains and valleys, and the landscape itself.
We are guided through the story by a number of leading experts who bring their knowledge and personal perspectives to the narrative.
