A Minnesota woman searches for the place and people her immigrant grandmother left behind. The quest takes her to the Burren: a beautiful, windswept region of County Clare, Ireland. There she finds a clan - and it's medieval legacy - that were scattered and lost during some of the most difficult centuries in Irish history.
Stories I Didn't Know
Director
As a child from St. Paul, MN, Rita Davern was always told, with pride, how her family once owned Pike Island at the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. While researching her ancestors' immigration from Ireland, she begins to explore the complicated legacy of settling on Dakota land, and her quest for reconciliation begins in this eye-opening documentary.
