Jack Delaney is a young Irish Traveller fiercely proud of his heritage. A talented singer and songwiter, he has a degree in Irish, but the language he wants to focus on now is Shelta, Gammon or Cant: the native language of the travelling community. His ambition is to create a comprehensive digital resource of the language including a mobile app, and in doing so spark a revival of interest and usage among young Irish Travellers. This trilingual documentary, produced by Niamh Costigan, is a fascinating portrait, both of a remarkable individual and of a unique language that has much to teach all of us about our collective history and heritage.
