In this episode, Dara confesses to having had a very teary twenty-four hours. But what could have caused him to weep like a baby?
It wasn't Troy Parrott's match-winning goal (and raw and emotional post-match interview) that means Ireland still have a chance of going to next year's world cup, was it?
It wasn't Chase Infiniti's exquisitely vulnerable performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, was it?
It wasn't a Bosnian-born, New York-based milliner sharing her heart-rending story of bereavement, sickness, and recovery, was it?
It wasn't a written account of a historic football match between the two unrecognised states of Palestine and the Basque Country, was it?
Yes! Yes, it was all those things! Football and acting and hats (and babies) and more football!
But really it was about hope and pride and the unexpected.
It was about innocence and fear and defiance and love.
It was about friendship and tragedy and resilience and rebirth.
It was about solidarity and sovereignty and identity and visibility.
Dara tries to explain what it all meant and what it all means. It's an episode about sport and storytelling and small kindnesses.
