THE RESERVE

 

A film by MJ Whelan

A journey to a remote corner of Ireland where an invisible border delineates a reserve that is both a refuge for life, and a beacon of environmental responsibility. Weaving together experiences of zoology, spirituality, astronomy, music and performance, 'The Reserve' joins together a diverse tapestry of animals and people who call this place home.
