    Synopsis
    An Bóthar Fada looks at the mixed experiences of Irish emigrants in post-war Britain. Ironically, while emigrant remittances in the 1950’s and 60’s amounted to £25 and £50 million respectively, many of those living in Britain today dream of returning home to Ireland but cannot afford to.
