  Where to Watch

The documentary is narrated by Liam Neeson, and focuses on the Great Irish Famine, the worst humanitarian disaster of the 1800s. During that period, more than one million people died in Ireland, and two million left the country. Today, Ireland is the only country in the western world with a population lower than it had in the 1840s. The famine was caused by many things, among most important is the failure of the potato combined with the role of successive British governments in responding to the crisis in Ireland.
