A video of a powerful poem by a well-known local man has been selected for screening at a number of prestigious festivals at home and abroad.
‘Borderland’ was penned by Seamus McDermott, from Convoy, about his experience of growing up along the frontier between Donegal and the North.

His son, and business partner Jim, brought the poem to life through his video production skills.
