A Dramatic Journey

By Mary Hanes
Directed by Jane Page

This lyrical tale follows three generations of Irish sisters during the mass emigration from Ireland to America in the mid-1800s. Family is the thread that binds the three sets of sisters in separate stories of love and loss - from a poor farm in Ireland and the fishing port of New Bedford, Massachusetts, to New York City during the aftermath of the deadly Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in 1911. Gaelic wit and wisdom stitch together the stories of these six women in this powerful and genuinely moving immigrant story about strength and courage.
