77 mins - Ireland, 2024 Director: Ciaran Cassidy The documentary tells the story of Ireland’s treatment of women through the prism of a unique, surreal, live televised competition, that must be seen to be believed, where a generation of Irish women competed in front of a live audience for the title of ‘Housewife of the Year’. The former contestants share their direct experiences of marriage bars, lack of contraception, Magdalene laundries, financial vulnerability, boredom and shame and of course, of being contestants in the competition. It’s the story of a resilient generation of women and how they changed a country. Winner - Best Irish Feature Documentary, Galway Film Fleadh 2024 “A snapshot of a time that has uncomfortable echoes and is often an uneasy watch, even as it entertains.” Screen International
