Montserrat: Emerald of the Caribbean (Part 1 of 9)

[NipperM846]

Is this been taught in schools in Montserrat? Why wasn't this taught in Irish and Brirish schools. It should be taught in every school. I doubt very much if many people (not even the Irish themselfs) knows or heard about this.I find it so very interesting and very moving. Thank you for putting this on YouTube.

I loved this documentary but the facts are not entirely correct. Over 500,000 Irish people were Brutally kidnapped and forced/sold into Slavery and sent to Montserrat, Antigua, St Kitts and North and South America. The Irish were slaves or Priests on the Island and encouraged and helped the African Slaves revolt in 1768. It was the British who were the land owners. Irish people were not allowed to own land. Irish people did not flea to here for religious belief they were held captives.

Awesome indeed. An outstanding piece of documentary film-making. It almost transports you to the Island. Beautiful.
