When the Irish Were Starving, the Choctaw Tried to Feed Them

Update: 2019-04-09

Description

The Irish famine killed a million people of Ireland, and scattered the islands hungry people across the world. It received a woefully inadequate response from the British Crown -- yet somehow drew the attention of the Choctaw, a Native American people thousands of miles away. We think the story would be an amazing movie.
