Synopsis

"The Famine Report, Ireland" is a dramatic adaptation of eyewitness reports and letters from the Irish Famine eras. These are compiled into a contemporary 'news format,' to give immediacy and relevance to the suffering of the Irish people during that era. That populations such as the Christians in the Middle East can continue to be decimated and slaughtered en masse while the world carries on regardless suggests that we are not quite as humane or advanced as we would like to consider. 1.5million Irish died of hunger while ships loaded with food left their docks and politicians appeased their wealthy constituents. Another 2.5 million emigrated to prosper or die building the new worlds. Since Roe v Wade, 53 million babies have been put to death in what should be their 'safest' place, their mothers' wombs, legally, using techniques developed in Nazi concentration camps. All avoidable. As Gandhi said, 'There is enough in the world for man's need; never enough for his greed...' What will be the 'Famine Report' two centuries on...?
