A Complete List of Irish Films
Title One Man's Hero |
Few Hollywood films broach the subject of the 'Great Hunger' of the 1840's that brought 2 million Irish to the shores of America. During the famine, many young Irishmen were offered passage to America and citizenship if they enlisted in the army. This is the story of the San Patricios (Soldiers of St. Patrick) who left Ireland for a chance to live, only to die in Mexico fighting another man's war. |
