Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story (2025)

Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story is a candid portrait of one of the world’s greatest and most charismatic writers, Irish author Edna O’Brien who sadly died last year aged 93.

Her books were banned and burned in her native Ireland. In London and New York, she had illicit love affairs, hosted star-studded parties, and made and lost a fortune.

In her final year, Edna shares her diaries and gives one last interview to filmmaker Sinéad O’Shea about her extraordinary life.

Her diaries are read aloud by Oscar nominated Irish actress Jessie Buckley (Wild Rose, Chernobyl).
