On the centenary of the partition that split the island in two, The Passenger sets off to discover a land full of charm and conflict; a country that in just a few decades has gone from being a poor, semi-theocratic society to a thriving economy free from the influence of the Catholic Church; from a deeply patriarchal, conservative society to one that gives space to diversity, becoming the only country in the world to enshrine gay marriage in law through a referendum.
The Passenger explores Ireland's ramifications in politics, society, culture, and sport. Memory and identity intertwine with the transformations - from globalisation to climate change - that are remodelling the Irish landscape.
