It examines the spirit inside the ring and the troubles outside, as well as the reality of emigration and its impact on identity. In the mid-1970s Seán Ó Mainnín left Galway for Boston. From humble beginnings, to competing for a world title boxing crown; from the quiet Gaeltacht village of Ros Muc in Connemara to the criminal underworld of James ‘Whitey’ Bulger and the mean streets of Boston.
Rocky Ros Muc is Seán Ó Mainnín’s story; his life, boxing career, and the ups and downs of both. This is a story of survival, determination, honour and strength. A Below the Radar production in association with ILBF, MG Alba and BAI. Directed by Michael Fanning. Produced by Máire Bhreathnach. Writer and associate producer Rónán Mac Con Iomaire.
