Mother Jones Festival: Music and film highlights of event in honour of great Cork woman
Kaiulani Lee as Mother Jones in her one-woman play at the Firkin Crane in 2015: the source of a new docu-drama screening this year at the same venue.
The 12th annual Mother Jones Festival celebrates the life and legacy of activist and union organiser Mary Harris, known around the world as 'Mother Jones'.
Labelled at one time as 'America's most dangerous woman', Shandon-born Famine emigré Jones fought tirelessly for workers' rights and children's rights after the death of her husband and four sons in the early 1900s, urging workers to "Pray for the dead, and fight like hell for the living".
