Well Termonfeckin community group presents a documentary film of conversations with past and present residents of the picturesque village. Discussing the cultural, natural, literary, social and even sporting heritage of Termonfeckin, 11 individuals open up to us about their experiences. From Fr Ted and I, Keano writer Arthur Matthews, the farming life of Paud Leech, archaeological history by Deirdre Murphy, St Feichins GAA stalwart Aidan Greene, novelist Nicola Cassidy to young up-and-coming musician Cian McCluskey, among many others including international residents, have contributed towards making this such an interesting and enjoyable film about community life of Termonfeckin.

Inspired by a cast of true life characters, the novel tells the tale of a small group of Austrian refugees who fled Nazi persecution and came to live at Newtown House (An Grianán) in the summer of 1939.
