Ancient stories that challenge modern notions of what it means to
be a hero. The ancient gods of Ireland were once worshipped
throughout the land. Powerful and brave, they were unafraid to show
their vulnerability, reject violence, or lean on others for
support. Sadly, their stories – passed down by our ancestors –
are all but forgotten. Gods Don’t Cry reawakens these gods, whose
ancient tales redefine modern ideas of what it means to be a hero.
From Mannanán, who uses his neurodiversity to discover the
Otherworld, to MĂ©iche, who finds the courage to accept his
illness, Fer Maisse, a monster slayer who gives up glory to become
a healer, and CnĂş DerĂłil, who overcomes bullies with his musical
talent. Hurlers and warriors, academics, and activists – these
are gods of many abilities, sizes, and skin shades, from every
corner of Ireland. Follow their adventures as they perform magic,
battle demons, overcome struggles and find the courage to be true
to themselves. You might even see yourself in their stories and
discover, that you too, are a hero.
