Episode 10 of One Week Only! To celebrate 100 years since the 1916 Easter Rising that lead to Ireland's Independence, we're covering three Irish films this week! Our key film is the documentary "Older Than Ireland" about Irish citizens who are over 100 years old, and reflects on life and aging and how the country has changed over the course of the 20th century. We also cover the Irish film "Viva" set in Cuba about an aspiring Drag performer (which made the shortlist for the Best Foreign Language Oscar nomination), the Irish/British horror film "Sacrifice" about a dangerous cult on the Shetland Islands in Scotland, the gorgeous Bulgarian film "Viktoria" about a girl growing up in the twilight years of the Soviet Union, and the surreal Iranian dark comedy "Atomic Heart" about two women on a strange nighttime drive through Tehran. Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com
