Gene Pull - The Documentary

(40 Minute Duration)

Gene Pull is a moving 40 minute documentary following the stories of Don, Cristina and Corinne. They are three descendants of Irish emigrants who feel a strong pull in their blood to make the return journey to the land of their forefathers and mothers - one that their ancestors were not often able to do. Cristina Abaca from Buenos Aires, Don Drach from Washington and Corinne Dwyer from New York all have their own stories of discoveries, motivations and recuperation to tell.

Why do people do 'the roots thing'?

Genealogy is one of the fastest growing interests in the world thanks mainly to the internet, TV programmes and the greater availability of records. Not everyone takes it to the next level and actually gets on a plane to visit Ireland however, but for those who do, the experience can be a life changing event. 

"Gene Pull" the documentary, follows three people's journeys of discovery and their different reasons for reconnecting with Ireland.
