How to Defuse a Bomb- Directed by Des Henderson and produced by Ed Stobart, the film looks back at the work of the Project Children organization, established in 1975 by NYPD bomb squad member Denis Mulcahy, which allowed over 23,000 children from Catholic and Protestant backgrounds to escape the “The Troubles” and live together in the United States over the course of a summer. The children’s summer project ran for 40 years, before finishing in 2015. The organization’s internship program, established in 1995, continues to bring students to the US to live and work. The documentary, narrated by Liam Neeson, won top honors at the Dublin Film Festival for a documentary.
