Dare to Live – by Fillipe Lezo and Philip Cullen
What does it mean to truly live when life has given you every reason not to? Dare to Live is a beautiful story of courage, resilience and love, seen through the eyes of Seamus Carrigan and his life-long partner and best friend Arlene. Seamus lives with end-stage renal failure and has spent 22 years on dialysis. This County Kilkenny man has faced many health complications over the years, yet he refuses to let illness define his life. Dare to Live shines a light on the person behind the disease and the strength and love it takes to keep moving forward.
Dare To Live is the first feature length documentary produced by Lightcatcher Films, a collaboration between filmmakers Fillipe Lezo and Philip Cullen. The film has been developed through the Réalta/Waterford Healing Arts Programme in Renal Dialysis at University Hospital Waterford.
Directed by Philip Cullen and researched by Sienna O’Sullivan.
Refreshments to be served at 6:30pm and Q&A/feedback after film.
