Chippers

A documentary by Riccardo Cremona about a community of Italian immigrants in Ireland. Thousands of Italians settled in Dublin in the early 20th century and many opened fish and chip shops. Includes archive footage of Dublin city.

For almost 100 years, Italian families have supplied Dublin's hungry masses with the distinctly non-Italian dishes: fish and chips - and the odd battered burger. In fact, since the early 20th century, more than 4,000 Italians have settled in Dublin. Following Barbato Borza (son of chipper legend Donato Borza) on a trip to Casalattico (southern Italy), director Nino Tropiano tells the story of these families and how they have managed to retain their cultural identity and their links with their country of origin while at the same time assimilating seamlessly into their host country.
