Forever is Now: A Story of Politics, Family, and Hope 💚
Visit the Mary Robinson Centre on Tuesday, 13th October at 7:30 PM for a special screening of Forever is Now 🎬
This documentary offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at Eamon Ryan's final 18 months in government (2023–2025). As the Irish Green Party leader navigates waning public interest in climate issues and pushes for global climate justice, he faces a storm of political pressure and online abuse at home 🌱
Yet, at its heart, this is also a story about family 👨‍👦 The film interweaves Ryan's political battles with his tender relationship with his autistic son, Tommy 💙
Forever is Now is a powerful reflection on persistence, empathy, and the belief that lasting change, whether in politics or family, requires patience and hope ✨
