The Green Square Mile: The Story Of The Charlestown Irish

Room B-04
Director in Person
Directed by Maureen McNamara.
US, 2006, digital video, color, 60 min.

The Irish built Charlestown yet, because of Boston’s the Puritanical legacy, they have no recorded history there.  Nowhere else in the world was more inhospitable to the Irish than Boston and it was this conflict and turmoil that made the Charlestown Irish truly different from other immigrant communities.  Director Maureen McNamara deftly blends the personal and historical to tell this important chapter in local Irish history.
