Produced by young people from Ballymun in the 1980s, this documentary explores how the built environment, a lack of maintenance, and a lack of adequate health services has severely impacted health outcomes for the community. Residents express harrowing accounts of health and safety issues and a Buster Keaton-inspired interlude sheds light on daily risks and hazards in the area.

This film contains frank discussion of social issues that may be of a sensitive nature to some audiences.
