If you missed the online premiere last Sunday of Great Famine Voices Hamilton, Ontario, it is now available on YouTube.
The 35-minute documentary is part of the ongoing Great Famine Voices series produced and curated by Dr. Jason King for Ireland’s National Famine Museum, Strokestown Park, and Irish Heritage Trust.
The documentary focuses on the migrants who made the journey through the quarantine station at Grosse Île, Quebec and down the St. Lawrence River to settle in the region of Hamilton, Ontario.
It features Irish emigrants and the descendants of Famine migrants, who share family letters and artifacts, along with historical perspectives from Dr. Laura Smith, historical researcher and advisor to the Canada Ireland Foundation.
