Celtic Soul: Lost In Ireland
Celtic Soul Extra: Jay Baruchel and Eoin O'Callaghan search for the Alcock & Brown memorial in the hills of County Galway, Ireland. Aviators John Alcock and Arthur Brown made the first non-stop transatlantic flight in 1919, starting in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada and crash landing in Clifden, County Galway.

Celtic Soul follows Canadian actor and funny man Jay Baruchel on an epic road trip through Canada, Ireland and Scotland with his new friend, well-known Irish soccer journalist Eoin O’Callaghan. It’s a story that spans 200 years of colorful history and that will take the duo eastward from Montreal to Westport, Ireland – where Jay’s ancestors set sail for Canada, like so many others – and finally Glasgow, where Jay will fulfill a lifelong dream: to watch a match at Celtic Park, one of the wildest and most hallowed grounds in world football.
