Pavee Lackeen: The Traveller Girl is a documentary-style film released in 2005 that depicts the life of a young Irish Traveller girl (Winnie) and her family. Most of the characters are played by the Maughan family, led by youngest daughter Winnie.
Its director and co-writer, Perry Ogden, won an IFTA Award in the category of Breakthrough Talent in 2005. Winnie was nominated for Best Actress in a Feature Film in the same awards.
Filmed entirely on video, the film was described as startlingly real, showing squalor and oppression in a non-sentimental way.
