The famine lasted for several years and, during this time, over a million Irish refugees escaped from Ireland and went to live in other countries. Tens of thousands of them settled in Liverpool. The arrival of so many Irish people, in the space of just a few · years, changed Liverpool forever. Using a combination of powerful imagery, documentary style footage, challenging questions and animation, Echoes of Ireland, will take you on a journey through the lives of people who lived through the famine and forged their futures in Liverpool.
