This film by Cáit and Éiméar McClay reflects on the Irish Potato Famine, showing how British laissez-faire policies facilitated food exports and limited aid, portraying the famine as a natural event to consolidate estates. The McClays critique this portrayal and link famines to settler colonialism, analysing the contemporary political, cultural, and economic impacts of British imperialism on Irish land reclamation and state formation.
