In addition to the award, the project has learned that the film has been recommended to teachers of Religious Education in England.
Ed Pawson, Chair, NATRE, National Association of Teachers of Religious Education, has described it as "an exciting resource to widen our
understanding of the diversity and origins of religion, beliefs and customs today".
The film traces origins of Ireland's biggest Halloween Carnival in Derry back to troubled years of 1980s. It also traces origins of Halloween itself to the Celtic festival of Samhain. Dr. Jenny Butler from the Folklore Department of University College, Cork narrates this.
