The Global Economic Documentary Series #2: Destination: Rossport, Ireland
In 2005, five men from Rossport, Ireland were sent to jail for 94 days because they would not allow Shell Oil to put a gas pipeline through their land.
In part 2 of his Global Economic Documentary Series, filmmaker Jim Kerns goes to Rossport - a remote town in the northwest of Ireland - to examine this conflict and the socio-economic implications involved. Kerns speaks with members of the community, journalists, sociologists, and Shell representatives in an attempt to understand the factors that led up to the jailing as well as to decipher the impact of a pipeline and gas-processing terminal on a once quiet community.
“Destination: Rossport, Ireland” examines how a big oil company is impacting the culture of the community and how the idea of “progress and development” in the desolate West is coming into direct conflict with health and safety concerns for an entrenched group of locals.
