Special screening of The Water Boys
Hosted by the Riverbank Arts Centre
A special screening of The Water Boys takes place at the Riverbank Arts Centre, Newbridge on July 17 at 1pm.
Admission is free but booking is essential. Jim and Gary have served as the water boys for their local hurling team, Carrickshock Kilkenny, for over 40 years.
Both men have cerebral palsy, however they do not allow their condition to stand in the way of their participation in the hurling team that both their fathers played for.
This sensitive, intimate and charming documentary explores the daily routines of both men and their unbreakable commitment to their team and their community.
Starring Gary Comerford and Jim Rohan, the film is directed by Shane O’Reilly with music by Seán Mac Erlaine. It is edited by Luca Truffarelli with choreography by Cindy Cummings, and Director of Photography, Luca Truffarelli. It is produced by Janice de Bróithe. The running time is 26 minutes.
