In rural Ireland, when a pub dies, the village dies with it.

That’s why, when Kilteely’s only pub was about to close, 26 locals said, “Over my dead body.” There was one tiny problem: they had no idea how to run a pub whatsoever. Sounds like a job for Heineken.

The Pub That Refused to Die is a short film created to tell the story of these local heroes and inspire other communities to follow in their footsteps.
