Former contestants of the Housewife of the Year competition tell the story of a resilient generation of women, and how they changed a country. Winner of Best Irish Feature Documentary at the Galway Film Fleadh 2024. HOUSEWIFE OF THE YEAR tells the story of Ireland's treatment of women through the prism of a unique, surreal, live televised competition, that has to be seen to be believed, where a generation of Irish women competed in front of a live audience for the title of 'Housewife of the Year'. The former contestants share their direct experiences of marriage bars, lack of contraception, Magdalene Laundries, financial vulnerability, boredom and shame and of course, of being contestants in the competition. It is a poignant, often hilarious, uplifting story of a resilient generation of women and how they changed a country. The film had its Irish Premier at the Galway Film Fleadh 2024 and took home the prize of Best Irish Feature Documentary. —Little Wing Films
