The bogs of Ireland have always been a contested land; a rural birthright to some, a wild frontier to others - for the poems of Seamus Heaney, they offered a reflection of who we really are. Now, while the survival of the bogs remains uncertain, author Colm Tóibín seeks to re-open the bog-inspired works of Heaney and other artists to cast new light on our relationship with nature, and the changes we are facing. Narrated by Oscar nominated Ciarán Hinds and featuring stunning poem readings by Games of Thrones star Michelle Fairley.

Shot, Directed and Edited by Alex Verner, and Produced by Joel Verner for RTÉ.
