Movie-Musical 'Sing Street' Takes Viewers On A Trip To 1980s Dublin

The movie-musical “Sing Street” was widely praised but not widely seen when it was released back in March. For those who missed it, the film is now available on DVD and on demand.

The movie is set in 1980s Dublin and centers around Conor, a teen who starts a rock band to impress a girl.

Here & Now's Robin Young spoke with “Sing Street” writer-director John Carney and actor Ferdia Walsh-Peelo when the film opened. Today we're revisiting those conversations.
