New Worlds
The story of the Irish is an ambitious and ground-breaking documentary series which tells the story of the Irish from the very first inhabitants to the present day, tracing the ebb and flow of people into and out of the island. Who are the Irish? Where did they come from? Where do they go? This documentary, narrated by Colin Farrell, seeks to answer those questions.

This episode follows the first Irish diaspora to Europe in the 1600s as a result of events at home and then later to various destinations in the New World. The numbers of Irish leaving for Europe slowed, and increasingly, the Irish looked westward for new hope. Their destination was the British Colonies of North America.
