An Blascaod M贸r, Great Blasket Island, is an islet off the southwest coast of the Irish mainland. For years, a declining population and treacherous waters had made life there risky. In 1953, the Irish government evacuated the 22 remaining residents of An Blascaod M贸r to the nearby village of D煤n Chaoin. This documentary examines aspects of the island's history and literary legacy, and features interviews with former islanders.
