Is gearrscannán nua é Siúcra scríofa agus léirithe ag Roxanna Nic Liam, stiúrtha ag Cathal Mac An Bheatha. Coimisiúnaithe ag axis Baile Munna mar chuid de Scríobh 2021. 


Siúcra is an exploration of identity within the Irish language through the ‘seanfhocal’, some of our oldest, wisest and wittiest sayings. It’s about discovering what Irish means to us, even those who live far away from any Gaeltachts. It’s a personal story, it’s a national question, it’s a universal feeling. Take a journey around the streets of inner city Dublin and a journey within yourself.
