ROLI , directed by Mary O’Gorman&Aoife Maguire, 8min, Ireland 2014,(Documentary)

Synopsis: “A world without music would be a very lonely sad place”. Music is Roli’s salvation. Growing up in the 1970′s in Belfast during the troubles, was an experience for him and his family that could have shaped his entire life but ultimately he has found his peace and happiness as a Luthier. We get an insight into how he makes his guitars and he explains the source of his passion for music. He introduces us to his coniards, Oscar and Ollie who he describes as his children, its evident how caring he is. Following him back to his youth he describes his broken home and the tragedy of the bomb that caused his sister’s death. Admitting that he easily could have lost his way at this point, Roli describes how the kindness of a stranger encouraged him to leave Belfast instead. The world was an eye opening experience for Roli but through all his years abroad there was something missing, he wanted to find home again. He returned to Ireland but decided to settle in Dublin where he found his calling in the music industry. His only regret is losing touch with his mother throughout those years but we follow him back to Belfast so that he can proudly introduce her to us. Roli sings his own song, “Three Crosses” and the beautiful haunting lyrics fade under the image of him smiling.banner-14501
