The Last Clans Standing

The Last Clans Standing is TraVision's developing documentary project on Irish history and Irish Traveller history. It traces the older Gaelic world, colonisation, the creation of English settlements, the criminalisation of movement and the survival of Irish Traveller culture into the present.

The documentary asks a direct question: how did a people formed within the Gaelic world come to be treated as strangers in their own country? It also turns the lens towards settled Ireland, examining how colonisation shaped national identity, institutions and the public imagination.

This is not a safe heritage film built from costumes and distant dates. It connects law, land, psychology, science, family memory and present-day policy. Its purpose is to recover history and open a national conversation that has been delayed for generations.
