An Irish language poet travels to Lithuania to tell the story of the 19th century book smugglers, who risked their lives to protect their language against Russifacation by smuggling books, newspapers and magazines into the country from Prussia and distributing them along clandestine networks. In doing so, the poet is forced to reflect on the decline of his own language, and the relationship between the language we speak and our national and personal identity.Book Smugglers recently won the Silver Crane Award for Best Cinematography in the 2011 Lithuanian National Film & Television Awards.
