Beautiful People is a documentary filmed in Dempsey’s Pub, in the East Village in Manhattan. Since 1998, Dempsey’s has been host to an Irish trad session every Tuesday night, and this documentary looks at the music and the people that make it. The film focuses on ten of the session’s members, highlighting their diversity in what draws them together for this common interest.
