That's what we were told anyway... is a collection of local folklore and stories told by people from the Raheen area of Co. Wexford.

The collection emerged from a Wexford County Council funded 'Storycollecting Residency' conducted by artist/filmmaker Michael Fortune with participants of the Raheen Active Retirement Group.

Recording took place weekly from the 18th of July to the 8th of August resulting in six hours of interview material. Due to the variety of stories, the DVD is divided into various categories according to topic for a comprehensive and thorough viewing. The collection also includes a slideshow of photographs taken throughout the residency and a special compilation edit which was shown at the launch night.

The DVD was officially launched by actor Padraic Delaney in Raheen Community Centre on Friday the 20th of October, 2006.
