    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 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.

    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

    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!

      People need to realize that many who came, during troubled times, including many children without parents from England, worked very hard for years on farms, many had it not much better than slaves, both in USA and Canada. Help was definitely much needed, before modern farm machinery. Sad history.

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

    I am born in Ireland spending my youth there before i emigrated to California. I did not know any of this.. What i cant get my head around ….. there was no famine… it was British genocide. The irish ☘️ just didn’t eat potatoes …we had enough of fish in the sea to feed the Irish population. We were ran out of our country by the British who stopped food imports and starved the Irish so they could take our land. I want to thanks my Irish patriots who fought for survival. The Canada’s treated the Irish with so much love unlike the Americans.. Thanks you my Irish Citizens and those who continue to see them themselves as Irish Canadians . Thank you Canada . I salute you. ☘️

    Sometimes I wonder, whether there was any Irish immigrating to Latin American countries, during those extremely difficult times.
    Also if any went to Australia for that matter.

      Yes . The Irish emigrated to Argentina. My spouse is Argentinian , his grandparents are Irish on the mother side.

    Why in the Hell is the New Brunswick story not told in this incomplete history of the Irish famine! I swear that New Brunswick and the rest of the Atlantic Canada should seperate from Canada. It's not truely part of Canada anyway.
