For decades the Students’ Union at the University of Galway has produced some of Ireland’s leading political figures, including former President Michael D. Higgins. Over the years these young activists not only defended students’ rights, but found themselves on the front lines of battles stretching well beyond campus – from contraception to abortion, from the Troubles in Northern Ireland to war in the Middle East. Some issues have changed over time, though the overall mission remains the same. This documentary follows along as the current union executives organise protests and other events on and off campus, growing into their roles as leaders. Shot over two years, the film celebrates their passion and vitality, as well as the laughter, friendship and exuberance of youth, giving an inspiring insight into the reality of student life and the growth of strong, socially conscious leaders in whose hands the future lies.
