The documentary 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 Nelson, Gabriel Byrne and Aidan Quinn. (Verleiher-Text)
