THE RESERVE
About
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.
