Roots of a Man is a story about identity, self-discovery, and the desire to be part of something bigger than yourself. We follow Jeff Campagna on a journey to Ireland where he meets up with various locals and historians and discovers the rich past of the Dogherty's - a past he never knew he was a part of.
The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and the D.O.P has an excellent eye for picking out breath-taking and memorable shots. And the historical re-enactments add a haunting flavour to the doc, bringing the viewer even deeper into this tale. Technically speaking, it was very well edited and the music that was chosen suited the tone of the doc perfectly.
Although at first glance you might think this tale is specific to the Dogherty Clan, it's a heartfelt story that speaks to many of us whose parents or grandparents have immigrated and settled in another country and leave us searching to our roots for a real sense of identity and belonging.
A great job by the Campagna brothers and I look forward to seeing their next venture!
