PARTING SHOT

The first full trailer for the highly-anticipated Black 47 has landed and it has got people talking.

Set in 1847, the nadir of the famine, the film follows the story of an Irish soldier called Feeney, who abandons his post in the British Army to return to the west of Ireland only to discover that most of his family are dead or starving.
