Give Up Yer Aul Sins

Posted on April 15, 2009 | Filed Under God Stuff | Comments Off

Based on the original recordings taken by Peig Cunningham in Dublin schoolrooms from the 1960′s, (subsequently re-discovered and released by EMI record) this film dramatises the event as a TV crew arrive to record the children and we are treated to the story of John the Baptist told as only children can. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short at the 2001 Oscars.

Give Up Yer Aul Sins is the brainchild of Brown Bag Films who have won international acclaim for their work.
