Narrated by Colin Farrell, From That Small Island –The story of the Irish is a four-part documentary series which brings to life the extraordinary story of the Irish people, from the island’s very first inhabitants to the global diaspora that now numbers over 80 million people.

Who are the Irish? Where did they come from? Where do they go? What does that mean? Why, in a totally unprecedented manner, does the whole world turn green on St Patrick’s Day?

Shot on location in 17 countries worldwide, with contributions drawing from genetics and archaeology we piece together the fascinating jigsaw of Ireland’s earliest inhabitants.
