I caught this #greatfilm A masterpiece of art last night on @Netflix - what a creation and historical account of the #Irish genocide !!
:
Set in #Ireland during the #greatfamine the film follows an Irish Ranger who has been fighting for the British Army abroad, as he abandons his post to reunite with his family. The title is taken from the most devastating year of the famine, 1847, which is referred to as "Black '47"
#HugoWeaving @thejamesfrecheville 🙏👊
::
1 And 4 Irish would be dead. 1million died ,by starvation and disease up to 2 million fled this inhumane treatment and this is what inspired the Irish Independence movement . #IRA
:::
Those soldiers who fought for England returned to home to witness there people
Starving and dieing of the fever and eviction !
“Take the soup”
Souperism was a phenomenon of the Irish Great Famine. Protestant Bible societies set up schools in which starving children were fed, on the condition of receiving Protestant religious instruction at the same time. ... In the words of their peers, they "took the soup"
Would you take the soup?
Those who Ignore history
Are doomed to repeat it 🤔🤦♂️

👆As a #historynut This is what I was saying in July of 2018 when I released neighborhoodlines a historical #novel - a recap of the late 80’s early 90’s .

#How do you plead ?
Renounce the Roman Catholic Church
I was just your faithful mic.
We Did things for them that cannot be forgiven. And for what ?
“If I kill a man they call it murder, if they kill a man they call it war ?”
“This potato famine has simplified business considerably
There are those who look forward to the day that a Celtic Irishman in Ireland is a rare as red indian in Manhattan “
“ Don’t fight them go to America “
I couldn’t help but get a little emotional during this film. I am fortunate some of my ancestors survived and made it to #boston during these times ! But my #grandmother never let me forget this 🙏
