Patrick Kavanagh - No Mans Fool, takes an in-depth look at the life and times of one of Ireland's favourite poets during the centenary of his birth. The many staging posts of Kavanagh's life are explored as the film reveals his constant battle to survive as a poet in an Ireland that had little time for him. Against the odds he survived great poverty and ill health to deliver a canon of poetry that is constantly being re-appraised.
