The Butchers' Blessing

A haunting portrayal of family, faith, and traditions in modern Ireland. Follow Úna, the daughter of a Butcher who enacts ancient methods of cattle slaughter with a group of men. The Butchers' Blessing offers a glimpse into the tensions surrounding these eight fabled men, through the lens of characters who experience traditional practices, faith, and modernity in their own unique ways. Photographer Ronan finds his ideal subjects in the Butchers, while non-believer Fionn struggles with the dated and complicated reality they represent.
