SYNOPSIS:
Based on the idea that people are the very essence of a city, this documentary attempts to show Dublin from the inside, giving back to the people what the city owes them. We, people, are the ones who make the city. We make Dublin, We are Dublin!
To illustrate this, we have interviewed three people, Anne Bedos, Aidan Kelly and Morgan who are dedicated to Dublin.
Anne Bedos is French and is the founder of Rothar, a bicycle recycling organisation which restores old bikes, put them back on the road and also promotes bicycles as an ecological means of transport.
Aidan Kelly is an Irish photographer who works on a project called "This Place", which consists in black and white photographies of Dublin with a written text on them and which represents the love and hate relationship he has got with the city.
Morgan is an Irish artist and has been involved in a number of charity projects in the city. He is passionate about his work and loves his city. All of them contribute to make Dublin the city we live in, the city we love. We make Dublin, We are Dublin.
