As a young man from the Travelling community, Johnny Maughan always felt different. Growing up all around Ireland and the UK he experienced discrimination wherever he went – in every new school, in every town he was isolated and called names – a knacker, a pikey, a gypsy – and so he learned to stick with his own. But as Johnny got older, he began feeling different even within his own community when he started to realise he was gay.

MovieDocumentary
Irish comedian Joanne McNally doesn’t think she wants kids but whenever she shares her position either onstage or online, she’s told that she’ll live to regret her decision. Sick of being labelled a ‘Baby Hater’, in this documentary she sets out to challenge the concept of whether having a baby as a woman really defines you and why women who don’t want to have children are judged so harshly by society.
