How to Defuse a Bomb: The Project Children Story

The incredible, untold narrative of an NYPD bomb disposal expert’s significant involvement in alleviating the longstanding “Troubles” in Northern Ireland takes center stage in this documentary.

He rallied family, friends, and neighbors to create a program that offered Northern Irish children a temporary escape from their tumultuous environment. Over time, Project Children successfully facilitated summer trips for over 20,000 Catholic and Protestant children to suburban America, where they discovered unexpected friendships and realized shared humanity even with those they once considered adversaries.
