Project Children is partnering with INNYC to present a screening of "How to Defuse a Bomb: The Project Children Story" on next Thursday, May 14.
The event will take place, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Bank of Ireland Hub, 2 Grand Central Tower, 140 East 45th St., Floor 41, New York, N.Y. Admission is free, but attendees must RSVP here via eventbrite.com.
Directed by Des Henderson and narrated by Liam Neeson, and featuring a contribution from Bill Clinton, "How to Defuse a Bomb" tells the extraordinary story of how an NYPD cop helped bring peace to Northern Ireland.
Founded in 1975 by Denis and Pat Mulcahy, the Project Children charity worked to bring Irish children to live with host families for a six-week summer respite from the everyday violence and strife of The Troubles. Over the next 40 years, Project Children would go on to impact the lives of over 23,000 Catholic and
Protestant children, showing them that a non-violent life was possible and how tolerance, understanding and communication can lead to life-long friendships.
Follow the inspirational stories of Denis Mulcahy and Project Children participants through one-on-one interviews and vintage footage in this 90 minute documentary that surely proves ordinary people can change the world.
