Forty Foot

Whackala Films

Forty Foot is about the older groups of mostly Irish locals who swim in Sandycove every day.  The film tells the history of the place through the personal stories and characteristics of the featured swimmers.  More than a film about them braving the elements everyday, this is a film about having a great and surprising spirit in the face of aging, death and economic hardship.  It shows a classless section of older Irish nationals in a refreshing, encouraging and a completely unknown light to foreign eyes.
