The Hiring Fairs tells the
The Hiring Fairs tells the story of the men, women and children who were hired out as farm servants. Wealthier farmers found their farm hands for the next few months at these hiring fairs and children as young as 7 years old were hired at these fairs.
Based on the memories of Sam King, Maggie Faulkner and Jim McAuley who attended such hiring fairs in Ireland were hired themselves during the 1920's and 30's. A hiring fairs is re-enacted, showing the farmers inspecting the children to see who would come to work at their farm.
Tragic stories are recalled of how the parents of the hired children felt having to "hire" their loved ones to pay the rent. Nostalgia, heartbreak and laughter is combined in this film.
