n 1999, two men viciously attacked gay
American writer, Robert Drake, after a night
out in Sligo town. That cold night in January
changed all of their lives forever; Robert was
left for dead by two local men and airlifted
back home in a coma to the USA. A Stranger
in a Strange Land is the courageous story of
Robert’s struggle to recover, rehabilitate and
return to Ireland.

H
olding hands or kissing in public isn’t
for everyone. When it comes to samesex
relationships showing your love
outside of the home is sometimes a
complicated personal choice. This short
documentary moves between the public
and private spaces in which lesbian and
gay couples live, and explores small gestures
of human connectedness.
