Ballymun Lullaby is an emotional and compelling documentary that explores the heart of a local community through music. The Ballymun housing estate in Dublin has a reputation for failure. Six of its seven high-rise towers have been demolished, yet music teacher Ron Cooney never gave up on the area's youth. He enlists a composer to create a world-class collection of music for students to perform and to overturn negative views of the area. Cooney leads the music programme to unexpected heights that will send viewers soaring.
