Jamaica Daly
An Irish family learns about their ancestor's past as a slave-owner.
This documentary was so much fun to make. It’s compiled from audio we gathered across a couple of years and follows two amazing women - Meg and Dympna - all the way to Jamaica, in search of Meg’s ancestor: an Irish Catholic enslaver and coffee planter, Peter Daly
