Yu Ming Is Ainm Dom (2003)

I'm not really from Ireland; I'm from Jackson, Mississippi, USA, but I'm studying here for a year at the University of Limerick. I'm taking beginners Irish and we watched this short at the end of last semester. I almost cried to be honest. I don't have Irish by any means, and, realistically, I probably never will. I do, for whatever reason, really love the language and feel a real sense of loss because of its state in Ireland right. I think Yu Ming is Ainm Dom really highlights how tragic (I don't mean to be melodramatic, I really feel it is tragic) the loss of Irish is to Ireland and her people. Hats off to Daniel O'Hara for not being afraid to be bitterly honest.
