‘Mary from Dungloe: The Impossible Love’, a new Irish documentary for TG4 from Donegal-based Lugh Films about the sad history behind the famous Irish ballad, will screen this Wednesday 4th September at 9:30pm.

The woman who inspired the song and annual festival in Donegal forms the subject of this documentary which recounts how Mary Gallaher fell in love with a man whom her parents forbade her to marry.

Described as a ‘poetic docu-drama’, ‘Máire an Chlocháin Léith, an Grá Coiscthe’ tells a story of love, poverty, emigration and heartache - drawing on contemporary accounts and folk memory with the help of historians.

Mary of Dungloe: The Mary from Dungloe Festival is one of Donegal's main tourist attractions with thousands gathering every August to celebrate her life.

But who was Mary from Dungloe?
This documentary tells the story of love, poverty, emigration and heartache that surrounded her life.

With contemporary accounts and memories with the help of local historians and public representatives, we reveal the impoverished life of West Donegal at the end of the 19th century and the reasons that drove Mary Gallagher from her home near Dungloe to board a ship New Zealand bound and the short tragic life that awaited her.
