In this week’s episode, we discuss the 2018 Irish period drama, Black '47. Directed by Lance Daly, Black '47 tells the story of an Irish man who served with the British army returning to his famine-ravaged homeland. The title of the film refers to the most devastating year of the famine. The film, which was a box-office success in Ireland, failed to make as strong an impact internationally despite positive reviews.
