|  Pavee
Lackeen tells the story of Winnie, a ten year old Irish Traveller
girl, who lives with her mother and siblings in a dilapidated
trailer on the side of the road in a desolate industrialised area
of Dublin. The film follows Winnie through several weeks of her
life as she struggles with her identity as a young Traveller girl
in contemporary Ireland. The Travelling people of Ireland maintain
a culture and language, which sets them apart from the rest of
the population, and have been the victims of much misunderstanding
and prejudice that continues to this day. Dispelling existing
stereotypes, Pavee Lackeen is an intimate portrait of a resilient
and spirited young girl and her proud, dignified family struggling
day by day against faceless bureaucracy, poverty and prejudice.
