Dare To Be Wild movie tells a unique story emanating from West Cork

Dare To Be Wild combines the true story of a revolutionary gardener with a torrid love affair, writes Esther McCarthy

SHE’S a great believer in the redemptive power of nature and now filmmaker Vivienne DeCourcy is bringing some of that philosophy to her first feature film.

Shot partly on the shores of Roaring Water Bay in West Cork, Dare To Be Wild tells the story of how gardener Mary Reynolds caused a stir when she became Ireland’s first gold medal winner at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show in 2002.
