How it feels

This series of documentary films by Irish filmmaker Bob Quinn argues against the popular belief about where the people of Ireland came from. Instead, it proposes that the Irish are part of a shared culture along the western coasts of Europe and North Africa.

What happens

Atlantean is a quartet of documentary films and accompanying book (The Atlantean Irish, Lilliput, 2005) by the Irish filmmaker Bob Quinn. The films and the book dismissed as myth the popular belief in origins of the inhabitants of Ireland and proposed instead that they are part of a common 'Atlantean' culture that includes the western seaboard of Europe and North Africa.
