The Toon – Back to Ballymoney
Writer Ewen Glass returns home to Ballymoney to reconnect with his Ulster-Scots roots, and to try to find ways to make this heritage part of his young son’s life in England.
±«Óãtv is everything to writer Ewen Glass - he's from Ballymoney, Ulster-Scots born and bred. But how can he preserve his language and Ulster-Scots cultural identity when he's living in England and how can he ensure his son, Nathaniel, grows up respecting, appreciating and understanding this heritage?
In this film Ewen, now based in Lincoln, returns to 'the toon', to Ballymoney, which he still claims as ‘hame’. Hame isn’t a nostalgic tug at the heartstrings, it’s something richer and deeper, and always there. A sense of belonging.
