About this movie

Filmed in Ireland, "Rory O'Shea Was Here" is the powerfully humorous story of two ambitious and romantic young men who are determined to live life to the fullest. Michael, afflicted with cerebral palsy, is a long-term patient at the Carrigmore Residential Home for the Disabled. But life is transformed when a new fast-talking patient, Rory O'Shea, introduces him to a whole new world outside Carrgimore. Together, they devise a plan to outwit the system and become free at last from the stifling confines of the hospital. From Working Title Films.

As someone that has worked in Home health and in the DD field for over 10 years, this movie has a lot of truth to it. My organization recently used it as a training video for insight into the life of those with disabilities. I recommend it.
