Director Sarah Share's (If I Should Fall From Grace) award-winning film, The Graceless Age: The Ballad of John Murry, is a powerful tale of redemption, resilience and rediscovering a passion for life and art.

This is the story of American singer songwriter John Murry who was on the cusp of greatness after the release of his highly acclaimed album, Graceless Age (2013), when his world fell apart.  Creatively exhausted and struggling with addiction he washed up on the shores of Ireland a broken man.

Now, he retraces his steps back to Mississippi into the dark heart of American life and to face his demons – a neglected childhood, traumatic assault and resulting years of opioid addiction.

"A wise, often sad film that sends you back to Murry's blackly funny records" Irish Times
