@HOME provides a loving portrait of those brave emigrants who moved to the other side of the world when contact with Ireland was limited to occasional letters and a phone call once a year. This documentary follows these older migrants as they engage with new media and the web as a means to narrow the distance between Ireland and Australia.
From these unique stories and experiences a picture of Melbourne’s Irish community emerges, yet across each account, there is a desire to connect a community whose stories have all too often gone untold.
