"Matt Talbot worked in a Dublin timber yard at the turn of the century. At an early age he became addicted to alcohol. He experienced a conversion and went on to lead a life of asceticism and sanctity. In this video, Matt "returns" to present day Dublin. He relives the story of his life and conversion in dramatic fashion. Matt Talbot is played by Seamus Ford. one of Ireland's most accomplished actors."
