Ceathrar CailĂnĂ Dhoire
Four Derry girls from Thornhill College reflect on school and city life in Derry in the 1990s.
Ar fud an domhain táthar ag cuir suime i bpobal iontach Chathair Dhoire mar gheall ar eachtraĂ thar a bheith greannmhar Derry Girls agus mar a lĂ©irigh siad an saol a bhĂ ag dĂ©agĂłirĂ sna 1990idĂ.
In Ceathrar CailĂnĂ Dhoire, leanann muid ceathrar iardhaltaĂ de chuid Choláiste Chnoc na nDealg - an spreagadh a bhĂ taobh thiar den scoil i sraith Derry Girls, agus alma mater an Ăşdair, Lisa McGee, agus muid ag fiosrĂş thaithĂ na scoile agus na cathrach sna 1990idĂ.
Tá cuimhnĂ cinn ag na daoine atá páirteach sa chlár agus iad ag caint ar chairdeas fad saoil agus ar mhĂşinteoirĂ spreagĂşla; a gcuid turas chun na Gaeltachta; fios acu go raibh athrĂş polaitĂochta corrach ar na bacáin agus an prĂłiseas sĂochána á fhorbairt; iad ag teacht in inmhe agus ag vĂłtáil den chĂ©ad uair, agus cuairt Bill Clinton ar Dhoire in 1995. DĂ©anann siad a machnamh ar an dĂłigh ar mhĂşnlaigh na heachtraĂ seo a saol oibre agus a saol pearsanta.
The Derry Girls' hilarious take on teen antics in the 1990s has generated international interest in all that is unique and different about the people of Derry City.
We follow four former pupils of Thornhill College – the inspiration for the fictional girls' school in the Derry Girls series and alma mater of author Lisa McGee – as we explore their experience of the school and city in the 1990s.
The girls recall memories of lifelong friendships and inspiring teachers. They look back at their trips to the Gaeltacht, their awareness of emotionally charged political change as the peace process developed, their coming of age to vote for the first time, and the visit of Bill Clinton to Derry in 1995. They reflect on how this all shaped their subsequent work and life.
