Blue Road -The Edna O'Brien Story has now exceeded 100k euros at the Irish box office.

It's a lot for an Irish documentary on so few screens in 2 weeks + we know it's all due to word of mouth from our audiences and Edna herself.

Irish cinemas below with new screens in Dundrum, Cork + Ranelagh 💙

If you haven't seen #blueroad the #ednaobrien story, then I would highly recommend you go and see it. It's a beautiful and emotional story. And being from the same town as her, I found it particularly poignant. What an amazing woman she was.
