Out of Ireland DVD, CD, and Booklet Set
This documentary (approx. 2 hours long) charts the mass exodus of 7 million Irish men and women from the famine-swept villages of 19th century Ireland to the industrialized cities of America. Narrated by Kelly McGillis, this poignant and elegant production personalizes the transatlantic journey by focusing on the lives of eight specific immigrants. Letters they wrote home to Ireland describing their experiences in America are read by Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne and Aidan Quinn. Originally broadcast on PBS, this show is now recognized as the classic recounting of Irish immigration to America. The accompanying CD creates a beautiful musical tapestry to complement this epic story and the 32 page booklet features selections from the book "Out of Ireland"
and many beautiful photographs. Web Exclusive!
