Truly Local

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

jeudi 7 avril 2022 • Durée 41:56

The final episode of The Reason Why asks what it means to have a 'sense of place' and how to be truly local?
Seamas Carey investigates the social impact that Kneehigh Theatre had on Cornwall during the 1990's and how their work was shaped by the unique circumstances of a rural place. Then, after they achieved world wide fame (thanks to Emma Rice) Seamas wonders if people got left behind in the wake of ambition?
He also looks at the work of Cornish playwright and lobster fisherman Nick Darke - a good example of someone who was passionately local and universal.

Queer Cornwall

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

vendredi 18 mars 2022 • Durée 29:01

Seamas Carey begins to look at the queer community of Cornwall and what it's like if you don't fit the "gender or sexual norms".
In no way does he claim to feature all the voices of LGBTQIA, yet this episode does address the lack of representation, role models and services within Cornwall and asks; are there any specifically gay venues here? How progressive is this place? And can it feel unsafe, if you don't fit the status quo?

Rural Racism

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

vendredi 11 mars 2022 • Durée 30:36

Perhaps Cornwall isn't as welcoming and inclusive as Seamas Carey would like to think it is? But then again, how would he know?
This episode features four, honest conversations with people of colour, who have either visited, grown up, or moved away from Cornwall.
Is this a racist place? Can the word "emmet" be an othering term? And what does the future hold, for a more inclusive Cornwall?

Nationalism

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

vendredi 4 mars 2022 • Durée 33:36

It's a BIG word with many meanings and different connotations. But what defines Cornish nationalism and is it OK to call yourself a nationalist? Seamas Carey talks about pride, identity and oppression with several Cornish nationalists. Along the way he starts to wonder whether he might be one too…

He asks - what does it actually mean to be Cornish, where’s the line between pride and power and what happens when it all goes too far?

Harking Back

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 25 février 2022 • Durée 30:24

Seamas Carey is on a quest - to define what the culture of Cornwall actually is (and if there is such a thing) ?

Firstly he looks at the impact of the Cornish mining industry on the rest of the world, particularly within the homelands of indigenous peoples. Then he investigates the Gorsedh Kernow, who maintain the Celtic spirit of Cornwall by giving out bardship for truly Cornish endeavours. However Seamas proves that a lot of Cornish culture has recently been invented, which begs the question; what makes something Cornish?

A Hidden History

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

vendredi 18 février 2022 • Durée 30:45

Some people say that Cornwall is just another part of England. But is it really?
Seamas Carey looks at the hidden history and asks why it was never taught to him at school?

From the early celts, to the prayer book rebellion, Episode 4 proves that Cornwall does have a rich past with a distinct identity. But why did the Cornish language (Kernewek) decline, who revived it and how far did the Cornish people travel during the 19th century, when the mining industry spread across the world?

Overexposure

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 10 février 2022 • Durée 28:28

Seamas Carey looks at the effect that social media can have on a fragile, rural place and asks;
What kind of responsibility do we have as individuals, when it comes to tagging locations on Instagram? Is it OK to make secret, secluded places more accessible? And what happens when we don't respect the landscape?

Then he looks at how Cornwall is represented in the mainstream media and tries to hunt down the TV cookery poster boy himself - Rick Stein.
