Full Plot Details

For a river just over 25 miles long, the Deben packs a mighty punch in terms of tranquil beauty, ever changing scenery and astonishing history. Broadcaster and journalist John McCarthy and Woodbridge based film-maker Tim Curtis embark on a journey into the Deben's rich past, looking at its geography, environment and the influence the river has had over the people who have lived by its banks. The film traces the entire length of the Deben, from the secret and disputed upper reaches near Debenham to the boatyards and bustle of Woodbridge down to the sea at Bawdsey and Felixstowe Ferry. Recent discoveries have shown that the river Deben was a far more significant Anglo-Saxon region than was first thought. We meet the real-life detectorists and the leading archeologists who reveal what has been found at Rendlesham. The film features wildlife and conservation along the river and looks at daily life past and present, including boat building, sailing, farming, fishing, milling and even smuggling.

Movie Reviews

RTÉ (Ireland) - 10/10 by John ByrneOlder Than Ireland is peppered with wise words, great memories, plenty of humour, a lot of energy and - cue the Kleenex - one of the saddest true stories I've ever heard. If you're not moved by this film, you're not human.
ArtsATL - 8/10 by Steve MurrayFegan treats his venerable subjects with care. If he doesn't seem to push them hard (we never hear him guiding the questioning), he clearly finds a place of rapport with them.
NOW Toronto - 8/10 by Norman WilnerOne woman attributes her longevity to never having eaten a vegetable in her life, insisting everyone else eats too many. Bless.
National Post - 8/10 by David BerryAs the title would imply, this gang of people predate the actual country they live in, and even just through relating their life manage to speak to the rather profound changes that have hit in that time.
SF Weekly - 8/10 by Jeffrey EdalatpourThis unsentimental scene quietly illustrates the progression of growing old as an exquisite kind of tedium, a purgatory before what comes next.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Peter KeoughThere is a fair share of such Betty White-ish feistiness on display, but the pathos creeps in unexpectedly.
Reeling Reviews - 7/10 by Laura Clifforda historical oral tapestry via the sometimes hilarious, sometimes wistful, sometimes sad, often contradictory reflections of thirty Irish centenarians who have witnessed life since the earliest days of their country's independence.
Boston Herald - 6/10 by James VerniereAnother Irish cultural gem from Alex Fegan of The Irish Pub.
The Patriot Ledger - 6/10 by Al AlexanderThe tears -- yours, not theirs -- come in the final moments when talk turns to the deaths of their spouses, close friends and some of their children.
Film Ireland Magazine - 6/10 by Brian Ó TiomáinIt is a little gem of a movie and establishes the reputation of Alex Fegan as a director to watch.
