Please join International House of Philadelphia and the Consulate General of Ireland for a reception at 6:00pm before the screening to meet Dr. William Watson, Chair of History Department at Immaculata University and Director of the Duffy’s Cut Project, and Dave Farrell, producer of the film.

In June, 1832, a group of 57 Irish immigrants from Donegal, Tyrone, and Derry arrived in Philadelphia. They were brought to Chester County by a fellow Irishman named Philip Duffy as laborers for the construction of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, Pennsylvania’s pioneering railroad. Within six weeks, all were dead of cholera and possibly violence, and were buried anonymously in a ditch outside of Malvern. “Death on the Railroad” is a classic whodunit, containing foul play, cover ups, a murder mystery, and both old-fashioned detective work and high tech analysis to help find out what happened to a group of Irish men who came to America for a better life but found only misery.
