'The Island: Ireland From the Air' Lands In Oz Market

Janson Media announced today that its has licensed the DVD The Island: Ireland From the Air (1 x 80') to Reel Corporation Australia Pty Ltd. for the Australian Territory. Produced by RTE International, the documentary is comprised completely of beautiful aerial views of all the finest attractions Ireland has to offer including ancient castles, rugged shoreline cliffs, and remote lush green valleys.

This is a magical journey through the mythic and historical landscape of Ireland, filmed entirely from the air. Flying above the land and across the centuries, we see how Water, Earth and Stone have shaped the history and formed the character of The Island.

Many of these dramatic locations have never been seen before on television or video. Here are tombs more ancient than the pyramids, startling medieval castles and mysterious 5,000 year-old stone circles. We soar like an eagle over majestic sea-cliffs, into deep valleys and alongside remote mountains. And we learn how, over time, the natural landscape has been transformed with the growth of modern Irish towns and cities.

The Island is Executive Produced by Colm Crowley, narrated by Cathal O"Shannon, written by Rob Vance and Will Harris, and produced and directed by Will Harris. The Island also features an original music score, composed by Brian Byrne and performed by the RTE concert orchestra.
