Note: Frederick Douglass escaped slavery and took refuge in Ireland during the peak of the Great Famine. The doc examines the effect Ireland had on Douglass' activism, & the role of the Irish in America after Douglass' return. The film sheds light on the turbulent relationship between African Americans and Irish Americans, and the race riot that rocked NYC during the Civil War. 52 minutes. Director John Doherty and Producer Catherine Lyons are expected for a post-screening discussion. * Visit our website, http://langston.bside.com/2009 , or http://www.langstonblackfilmfest.org or blog, http://lhaaffbside.blogspot.com/ for festival updates.
