All I’ve Ever Known

May 22, 2020 by 2 Comments

All I’ve Ever Known is a BBC film produced by John Callister in 1992. It is about Margaret Gallagher who lives in Belcoo, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

Margaret is a fascinating soul, now in her late 70’s she still lives in the thatched roof cottage where she was born without any of the amenities of the modern world including running water and electricity.  The film was originally created when Margaret was 48 years old.
