This episode discusses the different factors leading to deaths during the famine such as starvation, exposure, and diseases, and how the famine affected the English and Irish middle class who had purchased land prior to or during the early days of the famine.
The interviewee highlights how people overlook the cruel effects of the mass eviction crisis and treat human lives as numbers on a board. Landlords prioritize their own needs, and even plans for supplying food and necessities to tenants are not emphasizing the importance of humanity and dignity.
Thousands of starving people walk for 16 kilometers in the freezing cold just to find out they don't qualify for relief during the Great Famine in Ireland, while the relief commissioners enjoy their lunch, and when they're done, they are told there's no food left.
