Boston's Forgotten Irish Famine Past Documentary

Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. This powerful documentary uncovers the incredible story of an Irish-American community that overcame all odds to commemorate the lives of 850 Irish Famine victims buried in a mass grave on Boston’s Deer Island. These men, women, and children, many too sick with typhus to be allowed into the mainland, were forgotten for 170 years—until their resilience and sacrifice inspired a community to unite in their honor. Through firsthand accounts of those who fought tirelessly to make this memorial a reality, this film tells a tale of Irish faith, grit, and determination. It’s a poignant reminder that, as history shows, there’s nothing as determined as an Irishman with a shovel. Heartwarming, magical, and deeply moving, this story proves that even in death, these individuals helped forge a legacy of togetherness and remembrance. Featuring a full list of the names of those who died, this documentary ensures they are never forgotten.
