'Who is Dervla Murphy?' | Official Trailer

Released in Ireland April 23rd 2016
Dervla Murphy is Ireland’s most prolific travel writer who for five decades has travelled the world mostly alone, and mostly by bicycle. A fiercely independent woman who turned her back on societal conventions at a time when few were as brave, she observed and recorded the world with wonder and curiosity, and an astute political sensibility. But who is Dervla Murphy? This special edition documentary explores the woman behind the words in an interview which shows her personal life to be as fascinating as her extensive journeys. The minutiae of life at home in Lismore and journeys abroad with her grandchildren provide an intimate backdrop to interviews with Dervla, her daughter Rachel, her publisher John Murray and fellow travel writers Michael Palin and Manchán Magan.
Produced by Martina McGlynn
Directed by Garret Daly

I love this woman. I've read most of her books over and over again. There's no-one like her - fabulous.

Reading one of her books now (second for me). Stunning writing. The kind of writing that makes you happy to be alive.
