Dr脿ma st猫idhte air beatha agus 貌rain na bana-bh脿ird M脿iri Nic a鈥� Phearsain, no mar as fh猫arr a dh鈥檃ithnichear i, M脿iri Mh貌r nan 脪ran. Tha am film a鈥� toirt sealladh air a beatha, a b脿rdachd is a d矛leab.
Chuir iomrall ceartais M脿iri dhan phr矛osan ann an 1871. Thug seo buaidh mh貌r oirre is bhon uair sin th貌isich i ri cruthachadh bh脿rdachd. Timcheall air an aon 脿m bha gluasadan poilitigeach a鈥� t貌iseachadh mu shuidheachadh chroitearan is mi-chinnt mu sheilbh an fhearainn thar na G脿idhealtachd is nan eilean. Thug a cuid b脿rdachd taic do na h-iomairtean fearainn a bha a鈥� dol sna 1880an. Cluinnear na h-貌rain as cli霉itiche aice san fhilm, air an seinn le Cathy Anna Nic a鈥� Ph矛.

In 1871 a miscarriage of justice put Mary in prison. This had a profound effect on her and from then on she started creating poetry. Around the same time grievances about land ownership and the position of crofters led to political movements. Mary鈥檚 poetry tapped into that time and in song helped spread support the drive for fairer land tenure. The film soundtrack features Mary鈥檚 most celebrated poetry sung by Cathy Ann MacPhee.
