The Quay Co-Op Trailer (2021)
22 September 2021 78 mins
'The Quay Co-op' tells the story of a well-known building on Sullivans Quay in Cork which is known to many as an acclaimed vegetarian restaurant and organic food shop but whose interiors have charted the social, political, and cultural changes in contemporary Irish society over the past forty years. 'The Quay Co-op' has a fascinating story to tell about the individuals and groups who wanted to see Ireland become a more progressive society in terms of women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and other social justice issues. Through interviews with founding members and other activists, we learn about the early days of the Co-op, what it meant to work co-operatively for change, and how the food business managed not only to survive but thrive. A remarkable change has occurred in Ireland in a relatively short space of time and we discover the pivotal role the Quay Co-op played in that transformation.
