Listen to the Land Speak sees Manchán Magan – one of our most acclaimed writers on landscapes and language – reveal the profound knowledge and wisdom contained in our landscape and myths. Filmed over four seasons, the film unfolds from Winter Solstice to Bealtaine through Reek Sunday to Samhain, exploring how the stories and myths associated with the rivers, mountains, and lands around us are crucial to unlocking aspects of how we need to rebuild our relationship with nature today. It also becomes an unexpectedly personal story – as he seeks to help heal society's relationship with nature. Manchán also realises that there is a serious illness within himself that makes him see these ancient sites and beliefs in a whole new light.
