A Traveller Family (2026)

Plot

'A Traveller Family' follows four generations of the Collins clan, beginning with Big James Collins, among Ireland's final Traveller tinsmiths, and extending to his great-grandniece and great-grandnephew, Catherine and Dan, just 14 and 16. The film also features actor and activist Michael and Catherine Collins, alongside Johnny Collins, 20, the first in his wider family to pursue third-level education. By tracing this single family's journey, the documentary examines shifting times, Traveller identity, and the enduring force of creativity passed down through generations.
