True Stories: Gypsy Blood
Filmed over two years by award-winning photographer Leo Maguire, Gypsy Blood examines the violent
culture that some gypsy and traveller fathers hand on to their sons. The film is an intimate
portrait of two gypsy families, their fight for respect and the price they pay in cycles of revenge
that can erupt into sudden and terrifying violence. The Dohertys are Irish Traveller royalty. While
Hughie Doherty, 27, becomes embroiled in a fight to defend his family's name, his seven-year-old son
Francie is caught between two worlds, learning to read at primary school while learning to fight
with his fists at home. Fred Butcher is Romany but torn between the gypsy fighting tradition and his
love as a father. His nine-year-old son, Freddy Cole, is terrified his father will be badly hurt in
a fight. The film follows the story of how Fred nearly dies in a machete attack as a day of drinking
and sparring goes terribly wrong. Gypsy Blood is a haunting study of masculinity, violence and the
uneasy relationship gypsy and traveller men have with their bare-knuckle traditions, and an insight
into people living amongst a wider society but sometimes with values that are a world apart.
Gyspy Blood is part of True Stories, which commissions and showcases the best feature-length
documentaries.
