Since 2008 Champlain College has maintained a study abroad campus in Dublin where part of the curriculum includes documentary filmmaking.  Three short works from recent students will be featured.

The Liberties Weavers by filmmaker Audrey Lewis

People have been weaving in The Liberties neighborhood of Dublin since the arrival of the Vikings over a millennium ago. Today, this once thriving industry is remembered mostly through the names of buildings, streets, and parks – but a new group is dedicated to preserving not just the history, but the practice of weaving itself. Sit in with the historians, textile experts, and proud students of The Liberties Weavers as they continue their mission to keep people weaving in The Liberties.
