Roots of the Scots-Irish - 'From Here to the White House'.
This short 1980's film explores the links between Ulster and America, not least the fact that some 17 American Presidents have an intangible connection to Ulster. More widely, the film tells the story of the quarter of a million Ulster Scots who emigrated to America in the 18th century - the lives they left behind and their hopes of making a home in the new world. Now a generation has returned to Ulster in search of their roots.
The 250,000 Presbyterian Ulstermen who left for America in the 18th Century played a pivotal role in shaping the society and pioneer spirit of the fledgling nation. Neil Armstrong - whose forebears hailed from County Fermanagh - is just one of the many Americans whose ancestral roots lie in Northern Ireland.
