Philadelphia, Here I Come!

Set in playwright Brian Friel's mythical Ballybeg, Ireland, The American Film Theatre's “Philadelphia, Here I Come!” presents an ingenious glimpse into the stock-taking of young Gareth "Gar" O'Donnell on the eve of his emigration to America.

Through the preparations that fill Gar's day comes a powerful portrait of a man on the threshold of his journey to a new life in a new land.
