Glucksman Ireland House presents
Screening and discussion of Butte, America
Friday, September 25th at 7pm
at NYU's Cantor Film Center
36 East 8th Street between Broadway and University Place
Narrated by 2009 Golden Globe-winner Gabriel Byrne, Butte, America recounts the sometimes glorious, often sorrowful, story of the most lucrative hard-rock mining town in American history. It is a tale of working class people and working class culture – the miners, their families, the community they created amidst danger and hardship – a culture that was created largely by the Irish and which to this day bears a strong Irish cast.
Scriptwriter and co-producer Edwin Dobb and producer and director Pamela Roberts will discuss the making of the documentary. Presented in association with the Irish Arts Center.
