Mayo native, Lisa Canny has released the video for her new single, Freedom and it’s an emotional one.

The 3-minute clip, which features an all female cast and directed by a Limerick's Rachel McGill, is all about female empowerment, particularly for the Irish woman.

It follows three different stories of struggle and triumph, both past and present: the female freedom fighters, the suffragettes and a victim of domestic violence.

Intertwined with scenes of contemporary and Irish dancing we are introduced to Aoife - our representation of a young woman growing up in Ireland today.

Speaking about the video, Lisa Canny said: "We are strong, beautiful, talented, humble, hospitable, educated, confident, supportive, sexy, classy women, descendent of the very same. Let's raise a pink gin to that and remind ourselves that we are BADASS! We can, and we will! Watch us!!!".
