Screening and Discussion: How to Defuse a Bomb: The Project Children Story

The Fordham Gaelic Society invites you to a screening of the award-winning documentary How to Defuse a Bomb: The Project Children Story.

This powerful feature film celebrates the unsullied hard work and dedication of the Project Children charity and one of its founding members, Denis Mulcahy, a two-time Nobel Peace Prize winner, and retired and highly decorated member of the NYPD’s bomb squad.

Narrated by Liam Neeson and directed by Des Henderson, the film documents the pursuit of reconciliation in Northern Ireland through the medium of its children. Offering more than 24,000 children a six-week summer reprieve from the intrinsic, sectarian violence of “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland, this extraordinary tale resonates with all that is good in this world.

A meet and greet with Mulcahy will be held at 6 p.m. before the ceremony, and a short Q+A will follow the screening. Highly-ranked Irish diplomats will also be in attendance.
