The Queen of Ireland star has only watched it once

The Queen of Ireland is a new documentary in cinemas this week, telling the story of Rory O’Neill, aka Panti, against the backdrop of the marriage equality referendum in Ireland.

It’s a remarkable film, not only because Panti is a great central character but also because of the series of events which led from her Noble Call to the momentous moment when the Irish people voted to make gay marriage equal in the eyes of the law.

It’s an often raw and revealing film which was shot over five years by Conor Horgan, and it’s also very funny. When we got to catch up with O’Neill and Horgan recently, we asked what it was like to watch with an audience and the star revealed he’s only watched it once and he might never see it again:
