The Appalachians: The Scotch-Irish
Born Fighting: The Scots-Irish Pt.1
Born Fighting: The Scots-Irish Pt.2
This Northern Ireland
documentary follows American Senator Jim Webb, author of Born Fighting:
How the Scots-Irish Shaped America, as he charts the incredible story of
the Scots-Irish, and discovers how they helped build one of the most
powerful nations in the world.
Born Fighting sees Senator Webb, himself of Scots-Irish heritage, travel
from his home in the United States to Scotland and Northern Ireland,
where he visits Belfast, Carrickfergus, Newtownstewart and Londonderry,
to tell the story of the Scots-Irish and how they shaped present day
America.
Dramatic reconstructions take viewers through key historical moments
such as Bannockburn, the siege of Derry and the American Civil War, and
we hear from leading historians such as Dr. Patrick Fitzgerald from the
Centre for Migration Studies in Omagh.
"For the first time ever, this series has captured all three elements of
this historic journey, from Scotland to the north of Ireland and finally
into America, in a way that shows both the struggles of the Scots-Irish
and their incredible impact on American culture and government.
"I wrote Born Fighting after many years of thought and painstaking
research," noted Senator Webb. "It is a pleasure to have been able to
work with UTV, STV and the Smithsonian Chanel, to bring the essence of
this book into a powerful visual format."
