The Toughest Road Back


Recently I edited a short documentary about the Kerry footballer Colm Cooper and his recovery from a pretty horrific series of injuries. Yesterday Colm made his competitive return to action, coming on for the last ten minutes for Kerry in their pivotal league game against Tyrone. As a result the film has now been shared online and is available on the AIB GAA Youtube channel or indeed can be watched below.
The film was made by Ross Whitaker and Aideen O’Sullivan of True Films, we last worked together on ‘When Ali Came to Ireland’ and it was great to get the band back together so to speak. The film was cut in my offices on Baggot Street where conveniently Aideen works next door as part of the Second Captains team so cutting this was a very enjoyable experience and I think the film turned out great…
