Adapted from the book series by the Czech author Miroslav Šašek, This is Ireland is a short educational film that highlights the country's many attractions. Take a journey around the island to learn about its rich heritage and culture while admiring Šašek’s colorful illustrations. Explore Dublin's sights, visit Killarney and the Giant's Causeway, and spend some time in Connemara.

The This is... series features 18 books, each showcasing a different location around the world. Šašek’s art style, supremely evocative of the sixties, provides an intriguing look at how Ireland was marketed globally during that time.
