Courtney McGrailA filmmaker is seeking to raise €40,000 to enable the distribution and promotion of a film about Japan’s last Irish nun. Thanks to your Noble Shadow tells the story of Jennie O’Sullivan who, aged just 23, left Ireland as Sr Paschal, a member of the Infant Jesus Sisters, to spend the next 75 years in Tokyo.
James Creedon’s film is based on more than 60 hours of interviews, and is an intimate personal profile exploring Sr Paschal’s youth, vocation, Japanese life, and readjustment to Ireland after a lifetime abroad.
