A new three part series from creator and director Bobby Zithelo will be land on RTÉ tomorrow, March 15: OUR LAND, featuring Amanda Adé, JYellowL, Choy-Ping Clarke-Ng, Hughie Maughan and more.

Exploring the cultural identity of Ireland, the show follows Zithelo's earlier film This Land, which was the winner of the TRUA award at the 2020's Kerry International Film Festival.

"Irishness has many strands. It’s an ever-evolving idea that’s influenced by fresh views, outlooks and cultures. It’s a celebration of how the country’s past intermingles with its present and future, how languages, food, music and art are not binary but exist in an ever-changing state of flux," commented The Tenth Man, the production company for the film.

"OUR LAND takes a deep dive into what it means to identify as ‘Irish’ today and how immigration shapes our understanding of identity and home."

This will be Zithelo's TV series debut, after releasing three critically acclaimed short documentaries: This Land, Up Next and Down With Jazz. 

"Super excited to share the new films I've had the pleasure of directing for RTÉ player," he captioned an Instagram post of three posters, featuring JYellowL, Amanda Adé and Choy-Ping Clarke-Ng.

24-year-old Irish hip-hop artist JYellowL has been making music since 2016, and has been featured on the soundtrack of FIFA 20, Normal People and BBC Three's Rap Trip. His debut album, DIvision, was nominated for a Choice Music Prize.

Amanda Adé is the manager of artist BugzBoni, and host and creative of the Black and Irish podcast, a show that is devoted to highlighting the successes and struggles of the Black and Mixed Race Irish communities.

Choy-Ping Clarke-Ng is a set, costume and video designer. Their work won a Linbury Prize for Stage Design in 2021, and the John Elvery Prize at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, where they graduated with a degree in Performance Design. They have performed in the Abbey Theatre, Samuel Beckett and Smock Alley.

The teaser trailer and credits have not yet been released.

All three episodes of OUR LAND will be available to stream on RTÉ player from tomorrow, March 15th.
