SCENES from a new docu-drama about the Titanic to be aired this week will seem more than a bit familiar to West Clare People.
While the 45-minute film is based on the true story of a County Mayo village that lost more than a dozen people aboard the Titanic, part of the filming took place in Moyasta, County Clare.
The refurbished West Clare railway station was used for one of the most poignant scenes, depicting the young people aged 17 to 32 leaving Castlebar station for the boat.
The docu-drama has been aired in Canada on CBC already and will be shown for the first time on Irish television screens on Good Friday, April 6, at 8pm.
Entitled “Waking the Titanic” the film is produced by Gillian Marsh.
All of the actors but one are amateurs and local.
