The Great Irish Famine: Remember Skibbereen

Описание к видео The Great Irish Famine: Remember Skibbereen

The Great Irish Famine of the 1840s was nineteenth century Europe's worst humanitarian crisis. At least one million people died while a further 1.25 million emigrated. Some regions of Ireland were disproportionally affected, among them Skibbereen, which lost over a third of its people to disease, starvation and emigration.
This documentary is Skibbereen's account and also, in the broader context, Ireland's story.
Includes interviews with Dr Larry Geary of UCC, Professor Joe Lee, Professor Mark McGowan, Gary White Deer and Terri Kearney and Philip O'Regan of Skibbereen Heritage Centre.
