    As a Canadian of Irish background, whose family would have arrived in this country around that period, I say THANK YOU! We always hear about the Irish in America (i.e. the USA) but rarely do we hear about our own Irish *Canadians.* The link between what was happening then and what is happening now, with refugees arriving from all over and for many reasons, and how they are treated well by some and badly by others, is thought-provoking and very appropriate.

      British genocide happened in Ireland. The corn was robbed and shipped out! Karma?

    My paternal great grandmother was a toddler when her family migrated from Ireland to Canada in that summer of 1847.

    Thank so much for this Film . It’s not always told just how desperate the time was. An Gorta Mór : The Great Hunger . A famine is an absence of food. Even during Black 47 thousands of atoms of food was exported from Ireland to England . The English passed a law forbidding the Irish from travelling to the coast for food & seaweed .
    Hence term Hunger An Gorta Mór
    Greetings from Bradford Irish Society in Northern England. Most of the Bradford Irish came from the Midlands because it was the Wool producing area of Ireland @ at the Time Bradford was the Wool capital of World Wool Trade and Fasted Growing City in Europe.
    Thank you Canada

    My young teens are learning about the Irish famine now in school - I wanted them to realize how their ancestors got here to Canada. We will remember. ❤ thank you! They watched as well as were astounded and moved.

    Robert Kearns et al - Thank you for your work!
    Having ancestors on both my Maternal + Paternal sides (who came in those early days), it is nice to see that what they went through is being brought to the publics attention. People have no idea. They were the first slaves and what they endured was horrific.
    Thank you!
