Dawn Richardson & Chad Alexander: Dungannon Tropicana

A former Irish National Foresters club in Dungannon, County Tyrone transforms into a multicultural community hub, revealing the untold stories of a town shaped by migration, identity, rumours, and chicken.

Set around Tropicana Café on Scotch Street, beside Dungannon bus station, this film frames a single building as a living record of the town. Through interviews, on-site observation and archival material, Richardson and Alexander map how local life has been reorganised through work, movement, demographic-change, and the pressures and possibilities of living together in Ulster’s most diverse town.
