From around the 1950s to the 1970s, many of the Irish who migrated to London ended up settling in the area of Kilburn. In fact, Kilburn became such an Irish home that it became known as the 33rd county of Ireland - an addition to the 32 back on the Emerald Isle! Joan migrated from Dublin to London in 1969, only pulled across the Irish sea by the wanderlust she felt. Little did she know that a life was about to be built there, mostly in Kilburn. Follow her story in this documentary! A 15-minute film in which I directed, produced, shot, and edited.
