Day in the Sun
Fermanagh along with Wicklow, is one of only two counties in Ireland to have never won a Senior provincial GAA title. Despite over 130 years of waiting, fans like Brian Connolly have never stopped dreaming. When Peter notices his friend Brian is experiencing the telltale symptoms of advancing Dementia, he enlists the help of a few special people to pulloff the impossible.

Day in the Sun - trailer
Having had two grandparents affected by Dementia, I know first-hand just how devastating the disease can be. I also know how important the power of friendship and community can be in maintaining dignity and a quality of life for people affected by the disease. Whilst memories may fade, dreams can live on and this film aims to demonstrate how together as communities, we can keep those dreams alive.
